Description From Ravi Madduri 2005-12-05 10:34:35

A file can be located in more then one site. 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.

------- Comment #1 From Ravi Madduri 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.
