Abstract
A method for creating an initial list of peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network comprising initiating a connection from a spy node to a suspect node in the network. A peer list is updated if a transaction between said spy node and said suspect node is successful. If the transaction is not successful; the method is started from the beginning if it is necessary to continue initialization process. On the other hand, if the transaction is not successful and if it is not necessary to continue the initialization process the execution is terminated.
