A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module encoding data using a dispersed storage error coding function to produce a set of encoded data slices. The method continues with the DS processing module encoding a first encoded data slice of the set of encoded data slices using a zero information gain (ZIG) function based on a second encoded data slice of the set of encoded data slices to produce a ZIG encoded data slice. The method continues with the DS processing module outputting the ZIG encoded data slice and a subset of encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices, wherein the subset of encoded data slices includes less than a decode threshold number of encoded data slices and does not include the first or the second encoded data slice.

A method begins by a first computing device determining a routing plan to route a set of encoded data slices from the first computing device to a second computing device via a plurality of network paths of a communications network. The method continues with the second computing device receiving encoded data slices via one or more network paths.

When the relay unit is in possession of the not-yet delivered encoded data slice, the method continues with the relay unit ceasing forwarding of the not-yet delivered encoded data slice.

A method for execution by a storage unit in a directory-less distributed storage network (DSN) begins by receiving a read request regarding a data segment of data. The method continues by determining, based on the read request, whether an encoded data slice of a set of encoded data slices is locally stored, wherein the data segment was dispersed storage error encoded to produce the set of encoded data slices. When the encoded data slices are locally stored, the method continues by generating a read response. The method continues by determining whether to forward the read request to another storage unit of the directory-less DSN. When the read request is to be forwarded, the method continues by identifying one or more storage units to which the read request is to be forwarded and the read request is then forwarded to the one or more identified storage units.
