GridFTP and Parallel TCP Support in NaradaBrokering

Abstract

Abstract. Many of the key features of file transfer mechanisms like reliable file transfers and parallel transfers are developed as part of the original system. This makes it makes very hard to re-use the same code for different systems. We address this disadvantage by decoupling useful features of file transfer mechanisms from the implementation of the service and protocol, and instead place these features into the messaging substrate. This will allow us to provide file-transfer capabilities to tools that do not have these features.

“…However, one grid data application is interesting for our problem: "GridFTP" [5,9]. This protocol provides secure, efficient data movement in grid environments by extending the standard FTP protocol.…”
