Write operation dispersed storage network frame

A computing device comprises:

• an interface;
• memory;
• and
• a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processing module is operable to:
• generate a set of write request frames regarding a write request operation for a set of encoded data, wherein each of the plurality of write request frames includes:
• a payload section that includes:
• a transaction number field for a transaction number corresponding to the write request operation;
• and
• a data payload section that includes:
• a name field to include a name of a corresponding encoded data of the set of encoded data;
• a revision number field to include a revision number of the name;
• a length field to include a length of the corresponding encoded data of the set of encoded data;
• and
• a payload field to include the corresponding encoded data of the set of encoded data;
• and
• a protocol header that includes:
• a payload length field to include a payload length that represents length of the payload section;
• and
• an operation code field to indicate the write request operation;
• and
• output, via the interface, the set of write request frames to 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 processing module of a computing device, causes the processing module to:
• generate a set of write request frames regarding a write request operation for a set of encoded data, wherein each of the plurality of write request frames includes:
• a payload section that includes:
• a transaction number field for a transaction number corresponding to the write request operation;
• and
• a data payload section that includes:
• a name field to include a name of a corresponding encoded data of the set of encoded data;
• a revision number field to include a revision number of the name;
• a length field to include a length of the corresponding encoded data of the set of encoded data;
• and
• a payload field to include the corresponding encoded data of the set of encoded data;
• and
• a protocol header that includes:
• a payload length field to include a payload length that represents length of the payload section;
• and
• an operation code field to indicate the write request operation;
• and
• a second memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processing module, causes the processing module to:
• output, via an interface of the computing device, the set of write request frames to storage units of a dispersed storage network.
