However, efficient remote file access would often be desirable over such networks—particularly when high latency makes remote login sessions unresponsive. Rather than run interactive programs such as editors remotely, users could run the programs locally and manipulate remote files through the file system. So it would require a network file system that consumes less bandwidth than most current file systems. This paper presents LBFS, a network file system designed for low-bandwidth networks. LBFS exploits similarities between files and versions of the same file to save bandwidth. It avoids sending data over the network when the same data has been already found in the server’s file system or the client’s cache. Using this technique in conjunction with conventional compression and caching, LBFS consumes over an order of magnitude less bandwidth than traditional network file systems on common workloads.

People typically run network file systems over LANs or campus-area networks with 10 Mbit/sec or more bandwidth. Data transfers saturate bottleneck links and cause unacceptable delays over slower, wide-area networks. Interactive programs freeze, not responding to user input during file I/O, batch commands cantake many times their normal execution time, and other less aggressive network applications fit for bandwidth. Users must therefore employ different techniques to accomplish what they would do through the file system in the area
