Conclusions

This thesis was divided into two major parts. In the first part, various synchronization technologies were investigated (Chapter 2) while in the second part the CPISync algorithm for fast peer-to-peer synchronization was discussed in detail (Chapter 3). Strengths and weaknesses of various synchronization technologies were highlighted and the compared to the new CPISync algorithm. The CPISync algorithm was shown to be more scalable as compared to whole data transfer algorithms like Slowsync.
