Abstract
A system and method for network traffic management between multiple nodes are described. A computing system includes multiple nodes connected to one another. When a home node determines a number of nodes requesting read access for a given data block assigned to the home node exceeds a threshold and a copy of the given data block is already stored at a first node of the multiple nodes in the system, the home node sends a command to the first node. The command directs the first node to forward a copy of the given data block to the home node. The home node then maintains a copy of the given data block and forwards copies of the given data block to other requesting nodes until the home node detects a write request or a lock release request for the given data block.
