1. A cache memory architecture for use in a peer having at least one locally registered peer ID within a peer name space, the peer name space having a first number of peer IDs instantiated therein, the first number of peer IDs having an average spacing therebetween, comprising:

  • a second number N of memory regions for storing peer IDs, each memory region from 1 . . . N storing peer IDs within a range of +/−

    101 . . . N times the average spacing from the at least one locally registered peer ID, each of the memory regions 2 . . . N excluding the peer IDs stored in preceding memory regions 1 . . . N−

    1; and

    wherein the number N of memory regions is determined as the log of the first number of peer IDs instantiated in the name space.
