In a peer-to-peer (P2P) system, in each individual transmitting peer (), the incoming data stream is divided logically and with regard to time into different parts, which are buffered in a volatile memory () and are transmitted to the receiving peers () on different paths by means of a peer-to-peer transmission mechanism (). In a receiving peer (), the received parts of the subdivided data stream are buffered in a volatile memory () and are reassembled into a complete data stream. Further, in the receiving peer (), the parts of the subdivided data stream, buffered by the volatile memory (), are copied into a persistent memory (), from where they are copied back into the volatile memory () at a later point in time if necessary. A fraction of the received data is excluded from persistent storing by selecting parts of the subdivided data stream.
