Methods and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically discovering and utilizing an optimized network path through overlay routing for the transmission of data. A determination whether to use a default network path or to instead use an alternate data forwarding path through one or more overlay nodes is based on real-time measurement of costs associated with the alternative paths, in response to a user request for transmission of message data to a destination on the network. Cost metrics include delay, throughput, jitter, loss, and security. The system chooses the best path among the default forwarding path and the multiple alternate forwarding paths, and implements appropriate control actions to force data transmission along the chosen path. No modification of established network communication protocols is required.

A global namespace (GNS) is constructed across heterogeneous network-attached storage (NAS) devices by organizing metadata servers into a cluster layer having cluster nodes and a consistent hashing overlay layer having overlay nodes. The global namespace is distributed based on workload at the cluster and overlay nodes, and a portion of the GNS namespace may be migrated from one layer to the other. Cluster nodes may be added to the cluster layer, overlay nodes may be added to the consistent hashing overlay layer. Further, a cluster node may become an overlay node or an overlay node may become a cluster node. To access the global namespace, a request for namespace metadata managed by a cluster node is serviced by the cluster node, but if the requested namespace metadata have been migrated to the consistent hashing overlay layer, the cluster node will forward the request to the responsible overlay node for servicing.

A system and methods to construct and maintain a balanced-tree overlay network are used to host distributed databases. As overlay nodes can detach from and re-attach to an overlay unpredictably, overlay protocols must maintain the overlay tree properly to minimize communication overheads associated with store and retrieval operations of the hosted databases. Unlike a DHT (distributed hash table) approach, the balanced-tree approach has the advantages of stabilizibility and provable correctness of the overlay protocols. Fast inquiry can be achieved by using a caching algorithm that allows each overlay node to keep track of data ranges stored in a neighboring set of nodes. Self-healing and load balancing protocols are also incorporated to enhance the performance and stability of the tree-structured overlay.

An overlay network of volatile nodes, without centralized servers, using DHT-like search algorithms, is programmed to perform One-Number or One-ID services. A user's public number is either the PSTN or PLMN line that is connected to an overlay node, or a voice (or video) over IP number, which is serviced through the overlay. An overlay node is connected to the Internet, and may connect to a PSTN or PLMN phone line as well. The phone numbers allowed in the One-Number service is generally defined.

Registration and deregistration of entities in a distributed directory, hosted in a distributed overlay network are carried out in a peer-to-peer manner. The overlay nodes are volatile as every node can attach to or detach from the overlay in an unpredictable manner.

The registration and deregistration process can use SIP or other protocols. Application-level connection setup is also carried out on an overlay of volatile nodes, in a peer-to-peer manner using IP as the communications protocol.
