A method of admitting a joining contribution-aware peer to a peer-to-peer network is described including receiving a plurality of system parameters at the joining peer, the plurality of system parameters further including a system resource index and determining an entitled incoming degree value for the joining peer, the determined entitled incoming degree reflecting a value of the system resource index. Also described is a bootstrap node for a contribution-aware peer-to-peer network including a processor device and a network interface device coupled to the processor device, the network interface device being adapted to be coupled to a communication network, the processor device being adapted to receive a request for potential parent peer identification information from the communication network through the network interface device and whereas the processor device is adapted to respond with a plurality of device identification values and a system parameter.
