Abstract
A storage client and a quorum-based distributed storage system may implement dynamic utilization of bandwidth for a quorum-based distributed storage system. An update at a storage client may be received, and storage nodes of a protection group may be sent a write request indicating the update. In some embodiment, storage nodes that receive the write request may determine whether other storage nodes have not received the update and send the write request to be completed at those other storage nodes. In some embodiments, if a latency threshold is exceeded other storage nodes in the protection group not previously sent the write request may be identified and sent the write request. Based on acknowledgements received from storage nodes in the distributed storage system, it may be determined whether a write quorum requirement is met for a write request.
