Abstract: A system that implements a data storage service may store data on behalf of clients in multiple replicas on respective computing nodes. The system may employ an external service to select a master replica for a replica group. The master replica may service consistent read operations and/or write operations that are directed to the replica group (or to a data partition stored by the replica group). The master replica may employ a quorum based mechanism for performing replicated write operations, and a local lease mechanism for determining the replica authorized to perform consistent reads, even when the external service is unavailable. The master replica may propagate local leases to replica group members as replicated writes. If another replica assumes mastership for the replica group, it may not begin servicing consistent read operations that are directed to the replica group until the lease period for a current local lease expires.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing latency in a wireless-to-wired backhaul environment, such as a LTE-Backhaul environment. In the LTE-Backhaul embodiment, the system and method rely on a modification to the eNodeB (eNB).

In addition, the present system and method provides for a periodic transmission of a grant (e.g., a MAP in a DOCSIS embodiment) in the backhaul portion. The backhaul grant provides for the modem to immediately forward the BWR to the modem termination system (MTS) upon receipt of the BWR such that the MTS may prepare a grant for the forth coming SCTP signaling.
