Abstract

A distributed file system (DFS) is a client/server-based application that allows clients to access and process data stored on the server as if it were on their own computer. An edge router has series of data cards, to handle data inflow and outflow which can be of the form of email headers, data packets, etc. Each of these data cards have their own file system architecture. This paper implements a distributed file system approach on all these data cards, so as to make it a centrally controlled one file system and not having parallel many file systems. Convenience of usage and file handling capacity is also looked in this paper. The servers are portrayed as the data cards of an edge router and the client access points are the router processor cards. The DFS on Edge Router is implemented using GlusterFS which is a scale-out network-attached storage file system.
