Abstract
A method for restarting a set of nodes forming a peer-to-peer network. The method includes determining a first node of the set of nodes to be restarted and a subset of nodes known to the first node. Each node in the set of nodes to be restarted, prior to restarting, is configured to select a node and transmitting a message to the known nodes, containing an identifier of the selected node. Upon receiving the message, each known node is configured to back up duplicate sessions by determining sessions duplicated between the known node and the node in the set of nodes to be restarted and duplicating the sessions determined to be duplicate and verifying whether the known node is the next node, based on the message's content, and if the known node is the next node selecting the known node as a next node to be restarted.
