AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Therefore, there are two challenges associated with overlay network establishment, advertisement and discovery
The first challenge is how to reduce the chances of simultaneous overlay build-ups that can cause connection islands
The second piece of the puzzle is to make it more common and beneficial to join an overlay network, and in order to do so, the reachability of bootstrap peers needs to be simplified
For example, this approach does not solve the problem of simultaneous overlay network establishment because it assumes that Internet access is always available to advertise or discover overlays.
Also, since the search implemented on the DNS infrastructure is not adjustable, discovery is a more serious problem

Embodiment Construction

[0028] The following description describes aspects of a generic discovery system for facilitating the establishment, advertisement, and discovery of peer-to-peer overlay networks.

[0029] figure 1 A network 100 including an exemplary general purpose discovery system is shown. Network 100 includes an underlying network 102, which in one implementation includes an Internet Protocol network. Although the underlying network 102 is shown as a single entity, the underlying network may include any number and / or type of network, such as a WAN, LAN, wireless network, or any other type of network.

[0030] According to an aspect of the general discovery system, there is provided for use in figure 1 Discovery Device (DA) used at all or any of the nodes shown in . For example, DAs are shown at selected nodes of the network 100 and are used to provide the functionality of the general discovery system described herein.

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for creation, advertisement, and discovery of peer-to- peer overlay networks. A method includes detecting one or more communication links that allow a node to communicate with other nodes, determining that a universal overlay network is accessible using at least one communication link, selecting a selected communication link from the at least one communication link, and joining the universal overlay network using the selected communication link. An apparatus includes a transceiver configured to detect one or more communication links that allow a node to communicate with other nodes, and a processor configured to determine that a universal overlay network is accessible using at least one communication link, select a selected communication link from the at least one communication link, and join the universal overlay network using the selected communication link.
