Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for managing a peer-to-peer connection via a communication network (3), comprising at least one central processing unit (4) for establishing a connection between peer devices (1, 1′, 2, 2′). The method is characterized in that the central processing unit (4) receives a request from a requesting peer device (1, 1′, 2, 2′), extracts addressing information from the request, correlates the extracted addressing information to recipient peer device data and delivers the received request to the recipient peer device indicated by the recipient peer device data. Furthermore a central processing unit (4) is described.
