Secure point to point network communications.

The network may further include a server for maintaining a list of clients connected to the peer-to-peer network in order to more efficiently facilitate peer-to-peer communications.

A peer-to-peer network propagates searches from client to client.

The health of a peer-to-peer network is inferred from statistics gathered and analyzed pertaining to individual node and node-to-node performance (304).

The bridge device (140) is coupled to a public network using an Internet-based peer-to-peer networking protocol.

A method and system for serving content from a peer server in a photosharing peer-to-peer network is disclosed, wherein the peer server stores a web album and at least one associated digital image.

Secure point to point network communications are accomplished by sending data across a secure link.

System and method are disclosed for bridging a point-to-point network such as a Bluetooth scatternet with a shared medium network such as an Ethernet LAN.

Searching all peers takes a lot of time, therefore a small group - private network - is formed within the peer to peer network.

System and method are disclosed for bridging a point-to-point network such as a Bluetooth scatternet with a shared medium network such as an Ethernet LAN.

What is the difference between a client/server network and a peer-to-peer network?

The invention relates to a method for initializing and/or updating a data network, particularly a peer-to-peer network, with a number of computers (A, B, , G).

The system allows for secure propagated searches and resource access in a peer-to-peer network environment.

The invention relates to a method for creating a directory service in a scalable peer-to-peer-network, which is distributed to groups consisting of at least one peer.

The present invention provides a system and method for Internet search based on a point-to-point network.
