Abstract
In asynchronous remote replication, write IOs are accumulated in capture cycles and sent to a remote storage system in transmit cycles. In order to cause metadata cache hits at the remote storage system, write IO data and associated metadata hints such as logical block addresses being updated are sent in successive cycles. The metadata hints, which are received at the remote storage system before the corresponding write IO data, are used to prefetch metadata associated with the logical block addresses being updated to replicate the write IO.
