Abstract
The present invention related to peer-to-peer communications systems. The system comprises a user profile association storage associating at least two user instance identifiers with prioritization information. In one aspect of the invention a user instance identifier associated with a peer-to-peer data transfer action is detected. The prioritization information for the data transfer action is checked from the user profile association information storage, and the data transfer action is adapted in accordance with the prioritization information.
