DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DISSEMINATION OF CONTENT DATA BETWEEN PEERS IN A P2P MODE, BY USING A TWO-LEVEL RAMDOMIZED PEER OVERLAY AND A DYNAMIC UNCHOKE MECHANISM
First Claim
1. Method for controlling dissemination of content data in a peer-to-peer mode between peers connected to different communication networks, wherein it comprises the steps of:
- i) building, for each peer, a first peer set comprising active peers that are primary connected neighbours close to this peer in terms of network cost and a second peer set comprising active peers that are secondary connected neighbours of this peer, chosen at random irrespectively of network cost, and ii) dynamically determining into each peer a capacity of content data it is ready to receive from peers of said second peer set taking into account its current capacity to receive content data from peers of said first peer set, in order to optimize the peer-to-peer dissemination of said content data.

Abstract
A method is intended for controlling dissemination of content data in a peer-to-peer mode between peers connected to different communication networks. This method comprises the steps of: i) building, for each peer, a first peer set comprising active peers that are primary connected neighbours close to this peer in terms of network cost and a second peer set comprising active peers that are secondary connected neighbours of this peer, chosen at random irrespectively of network cost, and ii) dynamically determining into each peer a capacity of content data it is ready to receive from peers of the second peer set, taking into account its current capacity to receive content data from peers of the first peer set, in order to optimize the peer-to-peer dissemination of the content data.

8. Device for controlling dissemination of content data in a peer-to-peer mode from a peer, connected to a communication network, to other peers connected to said communication network or to at least one other communication network, wherein it is arranged for dynamically determining into said peer a capacity of content data it is ready to receive from peers of a second peer set comprising active peers that are secondary connected neighbours of said peer, chosen at random irrespectively of network cost, taking into account a current capacity of said peer to receive content data from peers of a first peer set comprising active peers that are primary connected neighbours of said peer, closed in terms of network cost, in order to optimize the peer-to-peer dissemination of said content data.
