Abstract
Information related to data communication between a plurality of connected devices is obtained. A plurality of initiated connections between the plurality of connected devices as directed edges between nodes in a directed graph based on the information are defined. Each initiated connection is represented by a directed edge from a source node to a destination node in the directed graph, and each node comprises an internet protocol (IP) address of the node. The directed graph is explored to determine a plurality of source/destination-pairs, wherein each source/destination-pair contains a source IP address of a source node of a directed edge, and a destination IP address of a destination node of the directed edge. A peer-to-peer (P2P) network including a plurality of P2P devices is detected based on the source/destination-pairs.
