Abstract
A method begins with a computing device of a distributed storage network (DSN) being designated to process a write request from a Decentralized, or Distributed, Agreement Protocol (DAP) and continues with the computing device retrieving a current policy for the storage units (SUs) associated with the write request, where the current policy specifies the current connectivity for the SUs. The method continues by using the current policy to configure a data structure to process the write request, where the data structure is based on scaling triggers and a load balancing scheme. The method continues with the data structure incorporating a primary queue and scaling the addition of secondary queues based on the scaling triggers and/or the load balancing scheme.
