Claim:
1. A method, comprising: determining, by a computing device, that data is to be copied to a first destination and a second destination; evaluating, by the computing device, a transfer descriptor data structure to identify a transfer descriptor comprising data copy operation logic for moving the data to the first destination using a first transport and for moving the data to the second destination using a second transport; creating, by the computing device, an application specified transport modifier defining a modification for an implementation of the data copy operation logic; generating, by the computing device, a data copy request based upon the transfer descriptor and the application specified transport modifier; and sending, by the computing device, the data copy request to a multicast component for facilitation of a first data copy operation over the first transport to the first destination and for facilitation of a second data copy operation over the second transport to the second destination, at least one of the first data copy operation or the second data copy operation modified based upon the application specified transport modifier.
