Data transfer between computing nodes of a distributed computing system

Abstract:

A system and method are provided for a first computing node of a blockchain infrastructure to obtain at least one digital file from a second computing node of the blockchain infrastructure. The first computing node obtains a request for the at least one digital file. The first computing node identifies, based on a distributed ledger, the second computing node as a geographically closest computing node to the first computing node that has a copy of the at least one digital file stored locally at the second computing node. In response to the identifying, the first computing node establishes a peer-to-peer connection with the second computing node and receives a copy of the at least one digital file from the second computing node over the peer-to-peer connection.
