Abstract
A peer-to-peer system includes a plurality of nodes. The plurality of nodes includes at least an initial node and a neighboring node. The initial node is operable to determine whether to place an object at either the initial node or another node in the system based on a comparison of storage utilizations for the initial node and the neighboring node.
