Abstract
Delta compression and remote file synchronization techniques are concerned with efficient file transfer over a slow communication link in the case where the receiving party already has a similar file (or files). This problem arises naturally, e.g., when distributing updated versions of software over a network or synchronizing personal files between different accounts and devices. More generally, the problem is becoming increasingly common in many networkbased applications where files and content are widely replicated, frequently modified, and cut and reassembled in different contexts and packagings.
