Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of determining a replication time in a deduplicated file system, the method comprising:
determining maximum streams based on a number of allocated streams on a source node and a number of allocated streams on a target node;
determining an available network bandwidth between the source node and the target node;
estimating a delta time based at least on one or more duplicate fingerprints between a logical space unit of the source node and the target node by using at least one source smart filter and at least one target smart filter; and
determining the replication time based on the maximum streams, the available network bandwidth between the source and target nodes, the estimated delta time, and a number of unique fingerprints that exist between the logical space unit of the source node and the target node.
