The impact of the peer-to-peer paradigm increases both in research and in industry. Still, serious applications for P2P-based systems are rare. On the other hand, Emergency Call Handling (ECH) is (or will be) a mandatory function for VoIP services. In this paper we investigate international legal and technical requirements of ECH and present ECHoP2P, a solution that fulfills these requirements. Based on Globase.KOM and HiPNOS.KOM, ECHoP2P provides the functionality to determine the closest and (geographically) responsible Emergency Station to a calling peer. Further, Emergency Calls are processed with highest priority in the overlay, so that quality of service guarantees are given. We evaluated ECHoP2P thoroughly and present the quality and costs analysis, identified tradeoffs and effects of optimization parameters. ECHoP2P provides a fully evaluated solution for Emergency Call Handling and for further location-aware applications.
