Given the peer network, apply the distributed search mechanism used in Gnutella to find the requested resource which is on P7.Assume the search starts at P1.
What will be an ideal response?
To perform the search, P1 sends search criteria to the nearby peers, namely P2, P4, P5
and P6. The resource is not on those peers. The search continues, and P2 propagates the
search to P3. P5 propagates the search to P7. P7 satisfies the search, so P7 passes this information
back to P1. P1 then connects directly to P7 and downloads the information.
