<p>A method of transmitting data in a network of interconnectable end-user nodes comprising a source node, a recipient node and a plurality of further nodes, each of the end-user nodes executing an instance of a communication client application, the method comprising: the communication client application of the source node receiving a command to transmit the data to the recipient node; the source node selecting from the plurality of further nodes at least one storage node to store the data from the source node before being retrieved by the recipient node; transmitting the data from the source node to the at least one storage node for storing the data at the at least one storage node for retrieval by the recipient node; the source node providing a network identity of each of the at least one storage nodes to the recipient node to enable the recipient node to locate where the data is stored.</p> |
