Abstract
A method of operation of peers and clients in a hybrid peer-to-peer network is disclosed. The method of operation of the disclosed requesting client includes an operation of transmitting a broadcast data message to a neighboring peer in an overlay network to which the requesting client belongs, and an operation of receiving a response data message corresponding to the broadcast data message from a responding client via a transport method other than the overlay network. The response data message is generated by the responding client in response to the broadcast data message transmitted via the neighboring peer.
Claims19
A method of operation of a requesting client, the method comprising:
- transmitting a broadcast data message to a neighboring peer within an overlay network to which the requesting client belongs;
- and
- receiving a response data message corresponding to the broadcast data message from a responding client via a transmission method other than the overlay network,
- wherein the response data message is generated by the responding client in response to the broadcast data message transmitted through the neighboring peer.
A method of a requesting client comprising:
- transmitting a broadcast data message to a neighboring peer within an overlay network to which the requesting client belongs;
- and
- receiving a response data message corresponding to the broadcast data message from the neighboring peer,
- wherein the response data message is generated by a responding client receiving the broadcast data message transmitted through the neighboring peer.
A Peer of performing an operation of a requesting client comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing at least one instruction,
- wherein the at least one instruction, when executed by the processor, cause the peer to:
- transmit a broadcast data message to a neighboring peer within an overlay network to which the requesting client belongs, and
- receive a response data message corresponding to the broadcast data message from a responding client via a transmission method other than the overlay network,
- wherein the responding client generates the response data message in response to the broadcast data message transmitted through the neighboring peer.
