The present invention relates to an improvement-node used for deployment on a peer to peer network. The improvement-node is programmed for monitoring the network to receive communication messages there from and to forward said communication messages, optionally changing the communications radius parameters to an optimal or near optimal value. The improvement-node can forward messages from one network to another or from one network to the same network. The invention also provides a method for monitoring communication messages for selected objects by nodes on a peer to peer network. The method includes interposing the improvement-node on the network. The improvement-node has at least one stored object corresponding to a communication message object stored at said improvement-node; and monitors the network to detect communication messages matching at least one of the stored objects and decides whether or not to forward or change communication message radius parameters based on some defined programming or configuration. |
