OPTIMIZATION OF NETWORK BANDWIDTH OVER INTERNET THROUGH LOW BANDWIDTH NETWORK FILE SYSTEM (LBFS)

Abstract

This Paper presents generalized approach to low bandwidth network file system i.e. LBFS which is designed for low-bandwidth networks. Low bandwidth leads to slow network performance. LBFS focuses on similarities between different files or different versions of the same file to save bandwidth. Duplicate data transfer is avoided which leads to less consumption of bandwidth over the network. Merits & demerits of existing system are discussed and new system design is proposed which can be implemented in different types of networks.
