Abstract
To keep data consistency on backup volume, traditional asynchronous volume replication protocol has to transmit every block changed on the Primary to the Backup and keep block update order during replication. This paper presents an enhanced asynchronous volume replication protocol, which can decrease the number of blocks required to be transmitted and updated to the Backup during replication. The enhancement is especially useful when network bandwidth is a major consideration. Analysis shows that in most cases the new protocol can keep the same data consistency as traditional protocols.
