Bandwidth management for a cluster of storage nodes

An apparatus, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• store respective network throttle values for computing nodes of a first cluster of computing nodes, wherein a respective network bandwidth allocation for a computing node is proportional to a respective network throttle value for the computing node, and wherein the first cluster of computing nodes is configured to:
• increase a respective network throttle value for the computing node in response to replication requests received at the computing node from a network gateway,
• decrease the respective network throttle value for the computing node in response to completion of transfer sessions associated with the replication requests received at the computing node from the network gateway;
• and
• maintain the respective network throttle value for the computing node in response to replication jobs that are serviced by the computing node but are associated with redirected replication requests that are received from the network gateway at other computing nodes of the first cluster of computing nodes;
• receive, at a first computing node within the first cluster of computing nodes, a first replication request from the network gateway, wherein the first replication request is associated with a first replication job for the first cluster of computing nodes to provide copies of a first set of one or more computing snapshots to a second cluster of computing nodes;
• determine, at the first cluster of computing nodes, that the first replication request is to be redirected to a second computing node within the first cluster of computing nodes, wherein the second computing node is to service the first replication job based at least in part on the first replication request being redirected to the second computing node;
• and
• increase a first respective network throttle value corresponding to the first computing node, despite the second computing node servicing the first replication job, based at least in part on the first replication request being received at the first computing node from the network gateway.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to:

• store respective network throttle values for computing nodes of a first cluster of computing nodes, wherein a respective network bandwidth allocation for a computing node is proportional to a respective network throttle value for the computing node, and wherein the first cluster of computing nodes is configured to:
• increase a respective network throttle value for the computing node in response to replication requests received at the computing node from a network gateway,
• decrease the respective network throttle value for the computing node in response to completion of transfer sessions associated with the replication requests received at the computing node from the network gateway;
• and
• maintain the respective network throttle value for the computing node in response to replication jobs that are serviced by the computing node but are associated with redirected replication requests that are received from the network gateway at other computing nodes of the first cluster of computing nodes;
• receive, at a first computing node within the first cluster of computing nodes, a first replication request from the network gateway, wherein the first replication request is associated with a first replication job for the first cluster of computing nodes to provide copies of a first set of one or more computing snapshots to a second cluster of computing nodes;
• determine, at the first cluster of computing nodes, that the first replication request is to be redirected to a second computing node within the first cluster of computing nodes, wherein the second computing node is to service the first replication job based at least in part on the first replication request being redirected to the second computing node;
• and
• increase a first respective network throttle value corresponding to the first computing node, despite the second computing node servicing the first replication job, based at least in part on the first replication request being received at the first computing node from the network gateway.
