Hierarchical Replication Control in a Global File System

We develop a consistent mutable replication extension for NFSv4 tuned to meet the rigorous demands of largescale data sharing in global collaborations. The system uses a hierarchical replication control protocol that dynamically elects a primary server at various granularities. Experimental evaluation indicates a substantial performance advantage over a single server sys
