Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for distributing data. In an exemplary method of distributing data within an internet, there is a step of receiving, in a first node, an identifier corresponding to a file. Subsequently, the exemplary method uses the identifier to select a second node, by performing an operation with the identifier and an ID for a node in the internet. The exemplary method receives, in the first node, an address set from the second node. This address set could, for example, include addresses corresponding to a swarm in the Bittorrent protocol.
