We use a peer-to-peer network based on the distributed hashtable Chord that provides a structured overlay network in order to avoid flooding the whole network. Service descriptions are decomposed into portions which can be efficiently distributed and retrieved. We propose a way to evaluate our protocol by running simulations in comparison with a straightforward way of achieving the same goal in an unstructured, Gnutella-like network.}, }
