US 2016/0110263 A1 · FAULT POLICY IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for multicast transport configuration, for multicast transport, and/or for fault policy implementation. In an example, a multicast component may receive a data copy request from an application to copy data to multiple destinations. A scheduler component may create a transport schedule specifying an order with which to facilitate data copy operations across transports, such as heterogeneous transports, to the destinations. A dispatcher component may apply application specified transport modifiers to the data copy operations (e.g., a modification to a quality of service for a transport). The dispatcher component may facilitate the data copy operations and provide operation result information to a policy agent. The policy agent may provide notifications of data copy operation statuses from the operation result information and/or may implement a fault policy (e.g., a retry on a different transport) for a data copy operation that experienced a fault.

Dependent claims

A system for fault policy implementation, comprising:

a processor;
and
memory containing instructions which when executed by the processor implement at least some of:
a multicast component configured to:
receive a data copy request from an application to copy data to a first destination and a second destination;
identify a first transport over which first data of the data copy request can be transported to the first destination;
identify a second transport over which second data of the data copy request can be transported to the second destination, the second transport different than the first transport;
facilitate a first data copy operation over the first transport based upon first transport characteristics of the first transport;
and
facilitate a second data copy operation over the second transport based upon second transport characteristics of the second transport;
and
a policy agent configured to:
receive operation result information associated with at least one of the first data copy operation or the second data copy operation;
and
responsive to the operation result information indicating a fault, implement a fault policy to address the fault.
