%X In this paper, we present the first heuristic for fully distributed  bootstrapping of peer-to-peer networks. Our heuristic generates a  stream of promising IP addresses to be probed as entry points. This  stream is generated using statistical profiles using the IP ranges of  start-of-authorities (SOAs) in the domain name system (DNS). We  present experimental results demonstrating that with this approach it  is efficient and practical to bootstrap Gnutella-sized peer-to-peer  networks - without the need for centralized services or the public  exposure of end-user's private IP addresses.
