Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a destination node receiving, from a source node, a hash of data stored by the source node and designated for transfer from the source node to the destination node. In response to determining the hash received from the source node maps to data stored by the destination node, the destination node reads the data into a write buffer and transmits an indication to the source node that the data is present at the source node. The destination node reads the data from write buffer and, in response to determining the data read from the write buffer remains unchanged as stored by the destination node, increases a reference count for the data as stored by the destination node.
