Abstract
A method, computer-readable medium and data processing system for randomizing termination of peer services in a peer-to-peer network is provided. A streaming media application receives a close command and closes a media player in response thereto. A randomized delay time is obtained by the streaming media application. The streaming media application maintains peer services until expiration of the randomized delay time.
Claims20
A method of randomizing termination of peer services in a peer-to-peer network, comprising:
- receiving, by a streaming media application, a close command;
- responsive to receiving the command, closing a media player;
- obtaining, by the streaming media application, a randomized delay time;
- and
- maintaining, by the streaming media application, peer services until expiration of the randomized delay time.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system, the computer-executable instructions for randomizing termination of peer services in a peer-to-peer network, comprising:
- instructions executed by a client that receive a close command;
- instructions that, responsive to receiving the command, close a media player of a streaming media application;
- instructions that obtain a randomized delay time;
- and
- instructions that maintain peer services of the streaming media application until expiration of the randomized delay time.
A data processing system for randomizing termination of peer services in a peer-to-peer network, comprising:
- a memory that contains a streaming media application as a set of instructions;
- a network adapter that interfaces with a communications medium for connecting the data processing system with peer clients in the network;
- and
- a processing unit that, responsive to execution of the sets of instructions, receives a close command, closes a media player of the streaming media application, and maintains peer services of the streaming media application until expiration of a randomized delay time.
