Abstract
There is described a client node for use in a network. The client node comprises a transmitter for requesting data from the network. A processor is operatively connected to the transmitter, and has installed thereon an operating system and an application. A receiver for receiving data from the network is operatively connected to the processor. The application is arranged to request content data from the network by opening a transport socket to the operating system. The operating system is arranged to establish contact with a master peer server in the network, receive a list of sources of the content data from the master peer server through such transport socket signalling, and establish contact with at least one source from the list of sources. The application is arranged to receive the content data from the at least one source without being aware that the content is delivered by at least one source from a list of sources. The list of sources may include nodes in a P2P network.
