Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the acceleration of data transfer protocols via client side de-duplication techniques for transmitting data from a client device to a networked storage system while maintaining protocol usage characteristics. while preserving the same presentation semantics to the users. A data chunk may be determined at a client device by parsing a data stream generated at the client device via a network storage protocol. A fingerprint for the data chunk may be identified by applying a hash function to the data chunk. A determination may be made as to whether the chunk is stored at a networked storage system by transmitting the fingerprint to the networked storage system via a network. The client device may transmit a block map update request message including information for updating a block map to the networked storage system.
