Abstract
A pseudo peer-to-peer network system including several clients, each adapted to execute a path driver program. A path driver program is provided, including the steps of locating storage peers connected to the network via a network interface for storing or accessing data items provided in memories of storage peers by means of a global address table. The global address table is updated periodically by at least one configuration server of the pseudo peer-to-peer network. The network further includes at least one time server, which generates a global time clock to which local time clocks of all storage peers of the pseudo peer-to-peer network are synchronized such that a global address table updated by the configuration server is activated by all storage peers at the same scheduled time to be consistent throughout the pseudo peer-to-peer network at all times.
