Abstract
A method for dynamically adjusting resource nodes in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network including allocating an initial number of resource nodes to provide the time-sensitive content to a consumer node, each of the allocated resource nodes provides a portion of the time-sensitive content to the consumer node; checking if there is a need to receive at least an additional portion of the time-sensitive content from at least one reliable node of the P2P network, and if so, receiving the at least additional portion of the time-sensitive content from the at least one reliable node; and requesting an additional number of resource nodes to provide the at least portion of the time-sensitive content when an access to the at least one reliable node occurs more frequently than a first predetermined threshold value, thereby the number of resource nodes allocated to the consumer node is dynamically adjusted.
