1. A method executed by a peer to peer network node for obtaining and recording search responses that are occurring on a peer to peer network having at least two nodes, said method comprising:

  • forwarding search requests from other peer to peer network nodes that are received by the peer to peer network node;

    recording responses that are received;

    stripping, from the recorded responses, client IDs of nodes that sent the responses;

    from the client IDs, building push packets used to detect IP addresses of the other peer to peer network nodes that sent the responses; and

    sending the push packets to the nodes associated with the client IDs, the push packets enabling the peer to peer network node to connect to the other nodes associated with the client IDs.
