They examine ways to manage a distributed file cache, without replication. Since there is no replication, the concurrency control problems boil down to providing atomicity for multi-block, multi-site requests. This is handled essentially by serializing the request: send the request to the first site, and have it forward the request from site to site as each block is processed. This works fine but completely serializes all multi-block requests, somewhat defeating the purpose. Thus, they get concurrency between requests, by having multiple servers, but no parallelism within requests.} }
