The invention relates to a method for managing a P2P network (100) wherein a peer (104 1 ) requiring a transmission of resources from at least one providing peer (104 2 ) has to select said providing peer (104 2 ) among a list (118) of peers (104 2 , 104 5 , 122) hosting said resources, characterized in that , said requiring peer (104 1 ) and said hosting peers (104 2 , 104 5 , 122) being mobile terminals linked to a cellular (102, 103, 105, 120) network, it comprises the following steps:
- The step of associating said requiring peer (104 1 ) and each of said hosting peers (104 2 , 104 5 , 122) with their physical location within the cellular (102, 103, 105, 120) network,
- The step of determining a distance between the requiring peer (104 1 ) and each of the hosting peers (104 2 , 104 5 , 122) on the basis of their physical locations within the cellular network (102, 103, 105, 120), and
- The step of selecting the providing peer (104 2 ) according to a distance criterion which takes into account the determined distances between the requiring peer (104 1 ) and each of the hosting peers (104 2 , 104 5 , 122)..
