ABSTRACT:
A wire protocol is described which implements connection management and other methods to give enhanced peer-to-peer content distribution. Connections between nodes can be placed in a “notify” state when they are idle but may soon yield useful content. This notify state is also used together with a content request/response cycle to allow a peer to evaluate content available at a neighbour. If no suitable content is available a notify state is entered. When new content is later received at the neighbour it is able to inform the requesting node to allow it to restart the content request/response cycle.
