ABSTRACT:
A method and system for creating a peer-to-peer overlay network. The method includes discovering a set of node characteristics for each of a subset of existing nodes of a network. The method also includes scaling each of the discovered set of node characteristics to a value which is within a predetermined range of values. The method also includes generating a set of weighted values for each of the subset of nodes by applying a weighting function to each of the scaled values. In addition, the method includes generating a node rank value for each of the subset of nodes by summing the weighted values of each respective set of weighted values. Further, the method includes determining whether to connect to any of the subset of nodes based upon the node rank value.
