Abstract
A system for establishing a client/server type relationship in a hybrid peer to peer network connects a first peer () to a second peer () implementing a predetermined function (F) in that peer to peer network. To this end, the first peer () has a superpeer () capable of establishing a list (LF) of the active peers () implementing the function (F) in the service of the peers of the network and of sending that list (LF) to its peer (). The first peer () can then establish a client/server type relationship with a second peer () selected in that list (LF).
