    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for anonymous data transfers between first and second endpoints in a network comprises forwarding a message through the network, where a default value in the message's time to live field has been modified by an amount such that intermediate nodes or endpoints receiving the message can not infer an ultimate source (e.g., the first endpoint) of the message.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for re-establishing anonymous data transfers between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a network includes receiving, from a first node, the identity of a second node connected to the first node, where at least the first node is a neighbor node. A third node (a neighbor node) is then selected, and instructed to connect to the second node in order to establish a link for the path. In this manner, the first endpoint and the second endpoint remain unknown at least to each other (e.g., where “unknown” means that neither endpoint knows any identifying information, such as network address, about the other endpoint), and likely to all other nodes in the path as well. In another embodiment, a failure is detected at a neighbor node, where the neighbor node is part of an original path between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. The neighbor node's repair server is contacted for a repair node associated with the neighbor node, and a connection to the repair node is made such that the path is established in a manner that maintains anonymity of the first endpoint and the second endpoint relative to each other.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for anonymous data transfers comprises connecting first and second network endpoints to at least one relay node and transferring data from the first endpoint to the second endpoint through the at least one relay node such that the first and second endpoints are not aware of each other's identities, e.g., are not aware of an ultimate source or destination of transferred data. In further embodiments, an information field specifying a number of times that a data transfer message (e.g., a request, response or get message) should be forwarded is altered so that no receiving node can inferentially identify an originating node.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for creating searches in peer-to-peer networks includes forming clusters comprising data from a user's media library and formulating at least one search request message in accordance with the clusters. Formation of the clusters may be guided at least in part by data attributes that the user indicates are important. In this way, the user's media library may be “mined” for information that will aid in creating searches for data that the user may be interested in, but may not necessarily know how to search for or may not necessarily know exists.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for assisting a peer-to-peer connection between a first node and a second node includes receiving, at a third node, a request for connection assistance from one of the first and second nodes. The third node then connects to both the first node and the second node, receives the data from the first node and delivers the data to the second node. In this manner, data may be transferred between the first and second nodes even if the first and second nodes are unable to directly connect to each other (e.g., due to permanent or temporary limitations).

    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for reducing spam in peer-to-peer networks includes forming a search message including at least one decoy word and sending the search request message, including the decoy word(s), to one or more nodes in the network. Embodiments of the present invention make it possible to weed out nodes in the network that send spam in response to every search message (e.g., regardless of the search message's content).

    摘要: A system and method for sending activated instant messages includes determining a condition under which an activated instant message is permissible and determining if the condition is met. If the condition is met, the activated instant message is sent such that the activated instant message causes a receiver device of the activated instant message to automatically perform an instruction sent by the sender.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present method and apparatus for establishing peer-to-peer karma and trust by a first user in a network includes engaging in a transaction with at least a second user in the network and exchanging feedback with the second network user regarding the transaction, where a copy of the feedback is maintained locally by at least one of the first user and the second user. The party or parties maintaining the feedback can then provide the feedback in response to inquiries by third parties. In this manner, third parties can investigate the trustworthiness (or lack thereof) of the first and/or second user.
