Abstract
We propose a new decentralized signaling protocol based on multicast and anycast communications, that substitutes the centralized tracker required by classic BitTorrent implementation. The proposed solution allows to fully exploit the decentralized data sharing among BitTorrent peers, by maintaining all its benefits, without the need of the centralized tracker, the main point of failure of the BitTorrent classic architecture.
