Patent attributes
A method is disclosed comprising: instantiating a first plurality of type-1 network sockets on a source computing system, each of the type-1 network sockets having a first queue depth; instantiating a second plurality of type-2 network sockets on the source computing system, each of the type-2 network sockets having a second queue depth that is greater than the first queue depth; transitioning the source computing system into a first state, the first state being one in which data replication messages are transmitted by the source computing system to a target computing system by using both the type-1 and type-2 network sockets; transitioning the source computing system from the first state into a second state, the second state being one in which data replication messages are transmitted by the source computing system to the target computing system by using the type-2 network sockets.
