The method of any of the preceding claims wherein modes are converted at multiple places along the transmission line such that that the average group velocity of the modes is approximately the same if more than two modes are supported.

The invention is based on the realization that each spatial mode of a fewmode fiber has different modal dispersion.Thus light travelling in different spatial modes in such a fiber will accumulate different amounts of dispersion depending on the mode of propagation and the length of fiber used.This realization leads to novel device structures to implement this concept.The fundamental device structure comprises two or more sections of optical fiber that support the fundamental mode as well as well as one or more higherordermodes HOM.Optical fibers with this characteristic are sometimes referred to as few mode fibers.The few mode fibers are connected to each other by means of a spatial modeconverter MC that is switchable.A spatial modeconverter in its most general form transforms one incoming spatial mode into another.A switchable modeconverter will perform the modetransformation in one state but let light pass through without any transformation in another state.The MC may be fabricated with longperiod fibergratings LPG coupled waveguide devices freespace phaseretardation elements or microelectromechanical MEMs based routers and switches.In the most general form the MC is assembled such that it transforms any incoming spatial mode into one of any other guided modes in the HOM fiber.The switching is achieved by strain temperature the electrooptic or nonlinear optic effect or any other physicaleffect that serves to change the refractive index of or the physical path length in the optical material used to construct the MC.In addition in the case of MEMsbased MCs the switching is induced by a mechanical routing action that serves to transform any mode of the HOM fiber into one of any other modes supported by it.

A nontransitory computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method comprising maintaining in a memory 122 of a relay device 101 a cache of associations between respective identifiers of connection objects 130 and identifiers associated with respective messages respectively queued therein the relay device 101 comprising a plurality of connection objects 130 each of the plurality of connection objects 130 comprising a respective queue of messages each of the messages for relay in association with respective devices 103 via a communication interface 124 of the relay device 101 receiving at a processor 120 of the relay device 101 an indication of a service change to a given device 103 determining from the cache a subset of the plurality of connection objects 130 comprising given messages associated with the given device 103 and the processor 120 communicating only with the subset to apply an action associated with the service change to the given messages while ignoring the remaining connection objects 130 in association with the action.

Mapping of a named queue to a queue node is done through an MD5 hash of the queue name followed by a map of the top N bits e.g.10 bits of the MD5 hash to a sequence of buckets allocated to node servers.MD5 hashing is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.Initially many buckets will be allocated to each participating queue node.As more queue nodes come online buckets will be fairly removed from allocated nodes and added to the new node to retain stochastically balanced 1N load mapping.The supervisor holds the master map of hashtonode mappings.In a particular embodiment we can enforce a minimum number of buckets per node to even the load.For example if we allowed one node to be mapped by two buckets and one node to be mapped by three buckets the difference in load assuming otherwise homogenous load distribution would be 50 more on the second node than on the first node.In a particular embodiment a policy of a minimum number of buckets per node can be enforced e.g.eight buckets minimum per node.Once all nodes have eight buckets for example we can double the number of buckets per node without changing the mapped address space.In this manner each bucket turns into two new buckets for a total of 16 buckets per node.Then we can start fairly redistributing again without fear of load imbalance.The minimum number of buckets used per node determines the maximum load imbalance assuming otherwise homogenous loading no hot keys.For a minimum of eight buckets per node the worstcase ratio is 89 or 12.5 more load on the second host.There is a cost in increasing the minimum number of buckets because the node map is hot data for the queue node mapper processes.Thus the node map should ideally fit well into an L1 cache.
