Abstract:
1. A peer-to-peer (P2P) resource query method including the following steps: a P2P node, used as both a server and client and providing services to other P2P nodes, initiates a resource query request to resource management servers of the service domain that the P2P node belongs to; if the P2P node judges, according to the information returned by the resource management servers of the service domain that the P2P node belongs to, that there is no effective resource or the effective resource is not enough in the service domain that the P2P node belongs to, the P2P node initiates a resource query request to the resource management servers of other service domains according to a predetermined strategy; if the P2P node judges, according to the information returned by the resource management servers of said other service domains, that there is no effective resource or the effective resource is not enough in said other servers, the P2P node initiates a resource query request to one or more content management servers served by the resource management servers of the service domain that the P2P node belongs to; in response to the request of the P2P node, said one or more content management servers return a list of the resource management server computers having effective resource based off the statistical information of the resource distribution, and the P2P node initiates a resource query request to one or more resource management servers in the list of resource management servers; wherein the management domain encompasses multiple service domains wherein each service domain has at least one corresponding resource management servers and multiple P2P nodes and each service domain is limited by the effective resources available on the resource management servers; wherein the multiple resource management servers corresponding to the multiple service domains in the same management domain have identical management domain identifier; and wherein each content management server does not directly manage P2P nodes and is served by at least one resource management server.
