One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for efficiently expanding a P2P network includes receiving a search request message from a requesting node and sending a response message to the requesting node on behalf of a node that has the requested data, where the response message originates at an intermediate node. The intermediate node may respond on behalf of the "responding" node, for example, in cases where the responding node is too far away from the requesting node to receive the search request message.

L'invention concerne un procédé et appareil permettant d'étendre efficacement un réseau point à point. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le procédé consiste à recevoir un message de demande de recherche en provenance d'un noeud de demande et à envoyer un message de réponse au noeud de demande au nom d'un noeud qui possède les données demandées, le message de réponse provenant d'un noeud intermédiaire. Le noeud intermédiaire peut répondre au nom du noeud "de réponse", par exemple, dans des situations dans lesquelles le noeud de réponse est trop loin du noeud de demande pour recevoir le message de demande de recherche.
