Abstract
A method of traffic reduction in a mesh computing system (400), the mesh computing system (400) comprising hosts located on edge nodes of the mesh computing system (400) and a central registry located outside the mesh computing system (400), the central registry holding the images. The method comprises, at a first host located at a first edge node, receiving (920) a request from a client for an image, sending (930) a request for the image to at least one other host of the mesh computing system (400). When the first host receives (940) notification that at least a second host holds the image, the first host downloads (960) the image from the second host to the first host. The first host creates (970) a container from the image. A host at a node (636; 700) and a mesh computing system (400) are also provided.
