The present invention relates to a method for optimization of demands in a packet switched communication network, especially, though not exclusively, for the optimization of demands in a Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet switched communication network. The present invention provides a method to enable network nodes, such as routers to be clustered into components, with the components organised in a hierarchical fashion, and with the network “core” at the root of this hierarchy. Demands that originate or terminate at components outside the core, but that traverse the core, are temporarily replaced by demands that originate and terminate within the core component. Having optimized the resulting set of demands it is then shown how to use the solution to satisfy the original demands. Multi-access networks cause some complications, and these are taken into account. Also, further demand replacement methods have been developed that take into account complex access situations, In particular, as mentioned, the case has been considered, where there is an existing partitioning of the routers, e.g. into core and access routers, which needs to be respected.

Methods and apparatus are described for a horizontally scalable high performance object storage architecture. Metadata are completely decoupled from object storage. Instead of file names, users are given a locator when the object is uploaded and committed. Users can store the locator along with their own metadata or embed it directly in the static content. Clients can choose which storage nodes to store data on based on dynamic measures of node performance. Since there is no coupling among storage servers, performance can scale horizontally by adding more nodes. The decoupling also allows the front end services and storage to scale independently. High service availability is achieved by object-level synchronous replication and having no single point of failure. Failed nodes are rebuilt using copies of data in other nodes without taking the cluster offline. In addition to the replication, the ability to add or remove nodes on-line reduces maintenance-related service downtime.
