It sounds like you are probably asking the wrong question. The JXTA 
discovery service does not provide exhaustive search services. It will 
never return *all* of the peers on the network, for example. The 
discovery service is instead intended to provide a reasonable number of 
advertisements matching the query while doing the minimum amount of work 
on the network in order to satisfy the query.

So, if you issue a broad query for peers the discovery service will 
indeed return some results, but if it can do so by only querying your 
neighbour peers then it will not look further. If you issue a narrow 
query, exact peer name for example, that cannot be answered by the local 
peers then the JXTA discovery service will look harder across the 
network in order to provide an answer.

Hope that helps.
