Abstract
A method and system for sharing an asset in a peer-to-peer network. Meta data and a source node identification are received. The meta data specifies properties and content of the asset to be shared by the source node. The received source node identification and the meta data are locally stored as a couple in a catalog. Subsequently, content specifying the asset and a request to search for and retrieve the asset based on the content is received. The locally stored catalog is loaded and searched to detect the couple that includes the source node identification and meta data, where the received content matches the meta data. The source node is identified based on the detected couple. A request is sent to the source node to retrieve and share the asset, and in response, the asset is received.
