Users should be able to list all the sites in which the file is available. Two scenarios are possible here: 1. RFT can get a portion of file from each site 2. RFT tries to get a file from one site and if that fails get it from the next site in the list. Adding partial file transfer capabilities to RFT will make a high-level service invoke RFT to get a portion of file from a site. madduri@mcs.anl.gov 2005-12-05 11:16:44 Why is this important ? : This will provide sufficient "hooks" in RFT for a high-level service to provide data transfer solution that reflects a more wide-spread usage scenario in scientific communities where data is available in more than one place.
