In the upload scenario, the GeoDrive UI was used to manually pause, un-pause and force upload using the buttons shown in Figure 7. These functions were used to drain the queue and fill the queue with files to upload. Windows drag-and-drop functionality copied files to the GeoDrive local disk cache. After the files were copied to local disk cache, then GeoDrive was manually un-paused and a force upload was conducted. The start, end and duration times captured from the logs were used to calculate the throughput and transaction rates.
