Abstract:
In one embodiment, switch-assisted data storage network traffic management in a data storage center consolidates data placement requests and data placement acknowledgements to reduce network traffic. Other aspects are described herein.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 10  further comprising:\n in response to each data chunk placement request of the first set of data chunk placement requests, an assigned storage node of the first set of storage nodes storing an individual erasure encoded chunk of data of the first set of erasure encoded chunks of data, and sending to the first hierarchical switch a data chunk placement acknowledgment acknowledging storage of an individual erasure encoded chunk of data of the first set of erasure encoded chunks of data; \n receiving by first hierarchical switch, a first plurality of data chunk placement acknowledgments, each data chunk placement acknowledgment acknowledging storage of an individual erasure encoded chunk of data of the first set of erasure encoded chunks of data in an assigned storage node of the first set of storage nodes; \n transmitting by the first hierarchical switch to the third switch in response to receipt of the first plurality of data chunk placement acknowledgments, a first multi-chunk data placement acknowledgement acknowledging storage of the first storage data in the first set of storage nodes of the storage system; \n in response to each data chunk placement request of the second set of data chunk placement requests, an assigned storage node of the second set of storage nodes storing an individual erasure encoded chunk of data of the second set of erasure encoded chunks of data, and sending to the second hierarchical switch a data chunk placement acknowledgment acknowledging storage of an individual erasure encoded chunk of data of the second set of erasure encoded chunks of data; \n receiving by second hierarchical switch, a second plurality of data chunk placement acknowledgments, each data chunk placement acknowledgment of the second set acknowledging storage of an individual erasure encoded chunk of data of the second set of erasure encoded chunks of data in an assigned storage node of the second set of storage nodes; and \n transmitting by the second hierarchical switch to the third switch in response to receipt of the second plurality of data chunk placement acknowledgments, a second multi-chunk data placement acknowledgement acknowledging storage of the second storage data in the second set of storage nodes of the storage system.
