A peer-to-peer network including a set of nodes distributed among a set of processing devices and arranged in a circular form in such a way that each node has a unique successor node. Each node has a memory to store data associated with keys and, on reception of a request containing a key, provides data associated with the key. Each data item stored in the memory of a first node is duplicated in the memory of a second node, different from said first node. The second node is chosen from among the nodes deployed on the set of processing devices different from the processing device on which the first node is deployed.

Fault-tolerance mechanism optimized for peer-to-peer network

The present invention relates to a method for establishing telecommunication between at least a first and a second users within a telecommunication network comprising the following steps:

Method and equipments for establishing telecommunication

At least one example embodiment discloses terminals including at least one alterable function key and a display to display in proximity to the key an indication relating to the function of this key, which includes indicating to a communication server which types of indication the terminal is able to display in proximity to this key, sending, from the server to the terminal, information defining at least one KPML command that the server is capable of receiving and that it is capable of executing and information defining at least one indication associated with the command and which must be displayed on the terminal, in proximity to an adaptable function key depending on a telephone state of an active communication.

Method of communication between a communication server and a terminal

The invention pertains to a method for retrieving at least one piece of information regarding a telephone communication between at least two telephone terminals () belonging to different users () via a communication server (), from at least one of the telephone terminals (). The invention further pertains to the corresponding communication server (). The inventive information retrieval method comprises the steps of the communication server detecting the closing of communication by one of the users () and the communication server () activating, for at least one of the users, an information retrieval service (). The retrieval service comprises, for each of the users (,) for which it is activated, the steps of selecting a form based on a criterion, submitting the form to the user (), and transmitting the completed form, along with said at least one piece of information, to a database ().
