Basic question:could someone please tell a little how peer software in
p2p networks find each other? Is there any stardard way for connecting
nodes?
Thank's
I would say that there is not such a standard for P2P.
Yup. The options I ve come across are:
(1) Bootstrapping nodes:
- Skype has a cache of recently learned Supernodes (which are
mostly likely to be up always), else falls back to a list of hardcoded
IP addresses of presumably Skype's bootstrapping servers.
(2) Crawling for a peer using an expanding ring (incremental TTL) IP
Multicast discovery
I read a position paper abt using the above techniques for one
universal ring of all peers (thereby increasing the efficiency of
techniques 1 & 2).

PeertoPeer Overlay Networks" - Castro et al.
