METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT IN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK

摘要

A method and arrangement for enrolling a joining peer (202) to a P2P (peer-to- peer) network (200). An enrolment server (204) associated to the P2P network receives (2:2) a connect request sent from the joining peer, and obtains (2:4 -2:7) an enrolment recommendation for the joining peer at least based on a stored current topology (208) of the P2P network. The enrolment server then sends(2:9) attach information to the joining peer according to the enrolment recommendation. The attach information indicates where the joining peer shall connect to the P2P network. The enrolment server also updates(2:13) the stored topology of the P2P network when the joining peer has connected to the P2P network.
