Abstract
In one example, a method includes measuring an available bandwidth of a communication path between a server and another entity, listening on a communication port that is connected to the other entity, receiving, from the other entity, a request for a data deduplication rate (DDR) information associated with a particular plugin type, querying a database for the DDR information, and returning the requested DDR information to the other entity.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- measuring an available bandwidth of a communication path between a server and an entity, wherein the measuring generates available bandwidth information;
- listening, on a communication port that is connected to the entity, for a request from the entity for the available bandwidth information;
- receiving, from the entity, the request for the available bandwidth information;
- and
- sending, to the entity, the available bandwidth information in response to the request for the available bandwidth information.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, implement and/or cause the implementation of the following operations:
- measuring an available bandwidth of a communication path between a server and an entity, wherein the measuring generates available bandwidth information;
- listening, on a communication port that is connected to the entity, for a request from the entity for the available bandwidth information;
- receiving, from the entity, the request for the available bandwidth information;
- and
- sending, to the entity, the available bandwidth information in response to the request for the available bandwidth information.
