1. A method of tracking content in networks having transient network communities where a collection of the nodes making up the network may change over time, comprising steps of:

  • using a persistent node identifier for each node in the network, even though a different network address may be assigned to the node upon entering the network multiple times;

    creating a mapping between the persistent node identifier of each node and a current network address used by that node; and

    associating the persistent node identifier with content resources of nodes in the network.
