  • Abstract:
  • Peer to peer is an approach to computer networking where all computers share equivalent responsibility for processing data. Peer-to-peer networking (also known simply as peer networking) differs from client-server networking, where certain devices have responsibility for providing or "serving" data and other devices consume or otherwise act as "clients" of those servers. Since the communication from one source to another is expanding, technology has made it possible for easy sharing of ideas, files and other resources over the network. Peer to Peer networking has also emerged as an important method of data sharing over the last decade. Peer to Peer network is a class of applications that takes advantage of resources — storage, cycles, content, human presence— available at the edges of the Internet.
