Abstract: Methods and systems for determining latency in a communication network may be provided. A plurality of commands may be sent in the communication network. A response may be received for each of the plurality of commands from the communication network. A pipeline round trip time may be calculated for each of the plurality of commands based on a time of the response for each of the plurality of commands. A total round trip time for the plurality of commands may be calculated based on the calculated pipeline round trip time. A time saving may be calculated for at least one of the plurality of commands serviced locally.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for negotiating a session with a first server, wherein data within the session travels through at least a second server such as a proxy server; replacing a first client global unique identifier (GUID) with a second GUID generated by the second server; maintaining a GUID map table at the second server mapping the second GUID with the first GUID; requesting a plurality of leases on a file from the first server, wherein the each of the plurality of lease requests comprises a lease key and the second GUID, wherein the lease key is identical for each of the plurality of leases; providing caching services, wherein caching services are associated with a lease state corresponding to one of the plurality of leases; receiving an indication that a second client has made a lease request for the file; breaking the first lease upon receipt of the indication; and communicating a lease break notification to addresses associated with the second GUID.
