Abstract
Pipelines for distributing file block in distributed file system network can be determined using a crawler algorithm. The crawler algorithm can iteratively identify links in a pipeline from for a starting node to one or more data storage nodes. In each iteration the pipeline can be extended based on the costs associated with the links on the pipeline with the resulting cost propagated as the pipeline is extended. The link costs indicate congestion on the links. Costs may also be back propagate from the data storage nodes.
