Abstract
Methods and devices for controlling the rate of a pull protocol, including the steps of requesting, from a plurality of fractional-storage servers by an assembling device utilizing a fragment pull protocol, erasure-coded fragments at a first rate that is estimated to approximately result in a target fragment reception throughput. And requesting, by the assembling device, additional erasure-coded fragments instead of fragments that have already been requested but have failed to arrive at the assembling device.
