Abstract
This invention includes a method and a node () for locating objects in a structured overlay peer-to-peer network (). Known distributed hash table DHT algorithms are not well suited for wild card searches. This problem has been solved by the current invention by using a node () configured with a finger table () and a stochastic selector () adapted to perform a stochastic search algorithm. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the stochastic search algorithm uses weighted probability values that are assigned to each established connection () between the node () and other nodes () in the overlay peer-to-peer network ().
