Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention provide a Peer-to-Peer (P2P, Internet Protocol (IP) telephone system. The telephone system includes a plurality of terminals coupled together via an IP network. The terminals cooperate with one another to provide telephony features without a dedicated central controller such as a PBX and/or a KSU controller. The terminals may further receive requests for configuration data residing on other terminals, relay the requests to such other terminals to obtain the request configuration, and return the requested configuration data to the requesting device.
