Systems, methods and algorithms for logical movement of data objects

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of logical movement of data objects. In various examples, the logical movement of data objects may reduce or eliminate network hotspots (e.g., avoid formation of hotspots, remove existing hotspots and/or reduce the magnitude of hotspots). In various examples, the logical movement of data objects may be implemented in the form of systems, methods and/or algorithms.

主权项

1. A method implemented in a computer system for movement of at least one particular data object from a first server to a second server, the method comprising:
advertising by the second server the particular data object that will in the future be available at the second server, wherein the particular data object is advertised as available at the second server while the particular data object is still at the first server and before the particular data object has been moved to the second server; receiving by the second server a request for the particular data object; and receiving by the second server the particular data object after the particular data object has been moved from the first server; wherein the first server and the second server are part of a named data network; wherein the first server responds to the request with the particular data object; and wherein movement of the particular data object from the first server results in another data object at the first server, which had previously been chosen to otherwise be moved, to not be moved.
