Distributed File System prof. Giovanni Chiola

Ubiquity/Mobility


The service must be transparently accessible from various network connections (even mobile), without requiring any configuration effort by the user.
The distributed nature of the implementation facilitates the achievement of this goal.
A "server descovery" protocol is needed to implement it.
Direct address of server is just an optimization.
A "failsafe" associative search must be implemented in the protocol.
