  • Adaptive asymmetric network connectivity probing system and method
    Patent number: 6865510
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing network traffic between a client system and multiple mirror systems, to determine the most efficient data transfer paths for accessing the mirrored data. Accordingly, a set of network probes are passed between network point pairs. After doing so, the resulting figures are analyzed using a first-order linear equation to determine which pairs are “closest” in terms of data transfer efficiency in a specific direction. Using the closeness results, the optimal data paths for large data transfer are determined.
