Daniel,

One use case for the VolDownload/Upload APIs that I've been wondering
about for a while is a data center with good connectivity (say 10Gbps)
between hosts but relatively constrained bandwidth (say 100Mbps or
WAN) on the management network.  What's the best approach to copying
large volumes between hosts in that case?
