Abstract
In one aspect, a call distribution in a direct communication network, also designated as a peer-to-peer network is provided. In doing this, the difficulty exists of integrating the call distributing functionality into the peer-to-peer network while retaining the self-organization capability and the fail-safety of existing peer-to-peer networks. To solve for his, items of characteristic information of a number of clients are transmitted to the client carrying out the call distribution, and this client routes an incoming call on the basis of these items of characteristic information.
