Abstract

Techniques for adaptive data transfer are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for adaptive data transfer comprising receiving a write request at an application protocol layer, buffering the write request, transferring to electronic storage a first portion of data of the buffered write request using a first setting value in a range, measuring, a transfer rate of the first portion of transferred data, varying the first setting value by a small amount in a first direction to identify a second setting value, transferring to electronic storage a second portion of data of the buffered write request using the second setting value, measuring a transfer rate of the second portion of transferred data, and replacing the first setting value with the second setting value if the transfer rate of the second portion of transferred data is greater than the first transfer rate.
