METHOD FOR REACTING TO THE BROADCAST OF A FILE IN A P2P NETWORK

摘要

The invention relates to a method for establishing connections with a number of peers (9m) of a peer to peer network operating using at least one exchange protocol, such as to influence the broadcast of a file within a peer to peer network, the addresses of the number of peers (9m) being held by at least one network server (4_p). According to the method a connection is established with the network server such as to at least partially download the addresses of the number of peers (9_m) connected to the network and implicated in the downloading of the file, to a control server (10_k), then connections are established between at least one control client (6_i) exchanging data with the control server (10_k) and peers (9_m) the addresses of which have been downloaded to the control server, such as to download content from a peer (9_m) to a controlled client (6_i) or broadcast content from a controlled client (6_i) to a peer (9_m), the downloading or broadcasting being carried out according to said exchange protocol.
