Abstract
The invention introduces a method to inform/configure a peer-to-peer application environment such that an application can find good alternatives for peer selection and data exchange taking the network configuration conditions including caching strategies and deployment into account. In use, a mobile operator stores a tracker file that is used to provide information of likely locations of a data file sought by an end user. The mobile operator provides instructions to a mobile communication device of the end user regarding the location of a tracker file that is available for use by said mobile communication device. In this way, the mobile operator controls the peer-to-peer environment available to the end user.
