<p>The invention concerns a method of providing a successor list (L) for routing in a peer-to-peer overlay network (N), and a network node and a computer program product to execute this method. The peer-to-peer overlay network (N) comprises a plurality of nodes (0, 20, 50, 87, 112, 140, 179, 200, 211, 223, 240). The successor list (L) specifies identifiers of at least two successor nodes (211, 223) subsequently succeeding a first node (200) of the plurality of nodes (0, 20, 50, 87, 112, 140, 179, 200, 211, 223, 240) with regard to a topology structure of the peer-to-peer overlay network. It is determined whether the at least two successor nodes (211, 223) listed in the successor list (L) run on the same physical hardware. If the at least two successor nodes (211, 223) run on the same physical hardware, an identifier of at least one additional node (240) of the plurality of nodes (0, 20, 50, 87, 112, 140, 179, 200, 211, 223, 240) which succeeds the at least two successor nodes (211, 223) with regard to the topology structure of the peer-to-peer overlay network (N) and runs on a different physical hardware than the at least two successor nodes (211, 223) is added to the successor list (L).</p> |
