Check operation dispersed storage network frame

A computer comprises:

• an interface;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the interface and to the memory, wherein the processor is operable to:
• generate a set of check request frames, wherein each check request frame of the set of check request frames is generated by:
• generating a unique payload section to include:
• one or more slice name fields of the payload section to include one or more unique slice names corresponding to one or more unique encoded data slices;
• and
• a common transaction number field of the payload section to include a common transaction number corresponding to the check request operation;
• and
• generate a protocol header to include:
• a payload length field of the protocol header to include a payload length that represents a length of the payload section;
• and
• one or more remaining fields of the protocol header;
• and
• output, via the interface, the set of check request frames to a set of storage units of a dispersed storage network.

A computer readable memory device comprises:

• a first memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to generate a set of check request frames, wherein each check request frame of the set of check request frames is generated by:
• generating a unique payload section to include:
• one or more slice name fields of the payload section to include one or more unique slice names corresponding to one or more unique encoded data slices;
• and
• a common transaction number field of the payload section to include a common transaction number corresponding to the check request operation;
• and
• generate a protocol header to include:
• a payload length field of the protocol header to include a payload length that represents a length of the payload section;
• and
• one or more remaining fields of the protocol header;
• and
• a second memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the computing device, causes the computing device to output, via an interface of the computing device, the set of check request frames to a set of storage units of a dispersed storage network.
