Sentence examples for storage agents from inspiring English sources

However, the storage agents are not anonymous to the cloud storage providers, i.e., the cloud storage providers can log the real addresses of the storage agents, but they do not know their pseudonyms.

The storage agents that find matching data item IDs in their records, will retrieve these from the storage providers.

The storage agents need to maintain a record of data items and associated IDs; the IDs are not actually revealed to the cloud storage providers.

Storage agents who don't find any data they have stored in the list will periodically retrieve random data, and send this on as explained below.

Although not explicitly shown here, an important feature is then that each data item must be sent to multiple storage agents; this redundancy both ensures duplication of storage, and introduces error tolerance in case of bit errors in the transmission.

The CRC then simply sends the following to all storage agents, using a fixed multicast address Rain: ∀ i | IRC → Rain : C S j, store − irc, auth, I D di, d i.

The parameter C S j identifies the storage agent, which is effectively a pseudonym for the Cloud storage provider below.

Note that the Storage agent ID (C S j ) can be viewed as a pseudonym, since it is never used as a return address in any way, and can thus not be directly linked to the storage agent.

Each storage agent subscribes to the Rain multicast address, and thus receives all the data items, but discards all messages that are not addressed to it.

Unfortunately, simply running the storage process in reverse by asking for the data does not work, since an observer then quickly could make the link between storage agent pseudonym and its address.

The IRC node receives a large amount of data items from multiple C&C nodes, and for each data item, the parameter C S j identifies which storage agent should handle the item.
