A peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing
protocol that has been used by a number of P2P
programs and applications, including Kazaa, for the exchange of

connected to the application, users do not communicate with each other. Instead, FastTrack user nodes connect to "supernodes" that index the files users have
available for sharing and forward the traffic for downloading.
