Abstract
A method for communicating among a plurality of peer nodes in a network environment is provided. A discovery command is communicated from a current peer node to at least one neighbor peer node, the neighbor peer node in communication with the current peer node. An aggregated list of peer nodes is received at the current peer node, the aggregated list of peer nodes comprising information about at least one peer node in communication with the at least one neighbor node. Programs and systems of using the method are also provided.
