Abstract: This paper compares four file transfer policies, namely on-demand fetching, prefetching,
whole-file transfer, and large-trunk transfer. The comparison is done using a
custom-built CSIM-based distributed file system simulator, which models a dedicated
file server machine and multiple client machines connected by a shared local area
network. Simulation results indicate that prefetching does not improve a lot over ondemand
fetching. Whole-file transfer shows its advantage only when there are over... (Update)
