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

Edge computing system

A method () in a mesh computing system () of pre-emptively positioning images at hosts, for retrieval from the hosts and for the creation of containers from the images, is described. The hosts are located in edge nodes of the mesh computing system (). The mesh computing system () also comprises a central registry (), located outside the mesh computing system (), the central registry () holding the images. A swarm leader () located in the mesh computing system () identifies a need in a first host at a first edge node to run an image, the image being held in the central registry. The swarm leader () identifies a second host at a second edge node, and commands download of the image from the central registry () to the second host, via at least one wireless link of the mesh computing system (). A mesh computing system () is provided.
