Abstract
Improving connectivity in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network involves packet forwarding by infrastructure or peers. A system can achieve full connectivity and a setup for transactions that takes a fraction of a second. The system can include a routing table that is initially configured so that packets to peers are routed via the infrastructure. NAT traversal heuristics can be employed to establish direct connections between peers in parallel with packet forwarding in accordance with the routing table. When a direct connection is ready, the routing table can be updated so that packets are sent P2P. If a direct connection cannot be made, the routing table can be updated so that the packets are sent through a peer intermediary without going through the infrastructure.
