Abstract: A method for enabling storage of data in a computer network comprising a plurality of computer nodes, wherein each computer node comprises at least one connection oriented link layer unit, the method comprising the steps of defining a looping path in the computer network, wherein the looping path comprises a plurality of computer nodes and connections between the computer nodes and configuring a connection unit at each node along the looping path, the connection unit being supported by the connection oriented link layer unit, such that the connection oriented link layer unit at each computer node is able to send incoming data which is to be stored in the computer network to a next computer node along the looping path based on the connection unit, thereby providing the looping path for data to be circulated therein, and thereby enabling the storage of data in the computer network.
