Changes to fulfilling requests

Where a Slice resides during the reallocation determines how the Slicestor® Node processes a request.

All Slices are available always both in the stable and reallocation states. Having the source Slicestor® Node serve as a proxy keeps operations transparent to Accesser® Nodes.

• If a Slice is reallocated and the system is still in the reallocation state, the sourceSlicestor® Node will proxy any request for that slice.
  Note: It could add latency due to the extra round-trip time between the source and destination Slicestor® Nodes. More Slices are proxied as reallocation progresses.
• All other requests are handled normally by the source Slicestor® Node.
