It basically goes like this:

local:
  submit to disk
+ send the data,
			remote: receive the data
disk completion			submit to disk
				disk completion
				send ack back
receive ack

complete to upper layers,
once both local disk completion
and remote ack have been seen.

With some more housekeeping to be able to detect failures,
and recover from them as gracefully as possible.

exactly "most of it" ;-) sorry.
there is a lot going on, and all those various stages cannot be covered
with "look there, these six lines of code do it".

What are you trying to do?
