<p>In a communication network, including a first node and a plurality of neighbour nodes that are linked by communication channels to the first node, a data set is retrieved from neighbour nodes according to the following process: 1) identifying the data set to be retrieved in the first node; 2) identifying neighbour nodes in the plurality that have a copy of the identified data set; 3) supplying requests for individual blocks in the data set across the communication channels essentially in parallel to the identified neighbour nodes; 4) receiving the individual blocks as the individual blocks are returned from the neighbour nodes; and 5) assembling data set in the first node from the received individual blocks.</p> |
