ABSTRACT:
In a method of mapping peers in a peer-to-peer network to an overlay network, network coordinates are determined for a selected peer. The logical coordinates in the overlay network are determined based on the network coordinates. A zone is determined based on the logical coordinates. The network coordinates, a network address of the selected peer and the zone is stored as an object at a peer owning the zone, where associated information is stored in the peer that has the network coordinate and using the network coordinate as a key.
