Consistency

• Is locally cached copy of the data consistent with the master copy?

• Client-initiated approach

  • The client initiates a validity check.
  • The server checks whether the local data are consistent with the master copy.

• Server-initiated approach

  • The server records, for each client, the (parts of) files it caches.
  • When the server detects a potential inconsistency, it must react.
