1. A method comprising:
- analyzing capabilities of a plurality of nodes; and
creating a first linked-list hybrid peer-to-peer sub-network of a plurality of linked-list hybrid peer-to-peer sub-networks by forming a first group of nodes of the plurality of nodes having similar capabilities and establishing serial connections between the first group of nodes.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a system and method is described for formulating a linked-list hybrid peer-to-peer sub-network that analyzes capabilities of a plurality of nodes, and creating at least two linked-list hybrid peer-to-peer sub-networks by forming a first group of nodes of the plurality of nodes having similar capabilities and establishing serial connections between nodes of the first group of nodes to form a first linked-list hybrid peer-to-peer sub-network.

8. A method comprising:
-
transmitting a first message by a first node, the first message to request permission to join a first sub-network being a grouping of nodes having similar capabilities; receiving an address of a second node being a point of connection to the first sub-network upon confirmation that the first node possesses suitable device characteristics to join the first sub-network; and initiating messages by the first node and the second node, the messages to pierce firewalls supporting by both the first node and the second node for establishing a flow of audio-video content from the second node to the first node. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system receiving and transferring audio-video content over a linked-list hybrid peer-to-peer sub-network for display, comprising:
-
a first node; and a second node that requests and establishes communications with the first node, receives the audio-video content and routes the audio-video content to the second node for viewing, the second node receiving the audio-video content from a separate source during establishment of communications with the first node and when capabilities of the second node fall below a minimal threshold. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
