Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates connectivity within a peer-to-peer networking environment.

A predictor engine can reduce the list by at least one matched host based upon a predictor, wherein the predictor is at least one of an Internet Protocol history predictor, a prefix history predictor, or a geography predictor.
