Abstract
Methods and apparatus for implementing peer-to-peer relay. In one implementation, a method of island recovery in a peer system in a peer-to-peer relay network includes: detecting the presence of two or more islands in a peer-to-peer relay network, wherein each island includes at least one peer system; joining two detected islands by connecting a peer system in a first island to a peer system in a second island; wherein peer systems in different islands are not connected.
