| Abstract |
|
In this work we present the Internet Backplane
Protocol (IBP), a middleware created to allow the
sharing of storage resources, implemented as part
of the network fabric. IBP allows an application
to control intermediate data staging operations
explicitly. As IBP follows a very simple philosophy,
very similar to the Internet Protocol, and the
resulting semantic might be too weak for some
applications, we introduce the exNode, a data
structure that aggregates storage allocations on
the Internet.
