P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
Peer-to-peer networking is a type of network architecture in which each node in the network shares equal responsibility for managing and routing traffic. This contrasts with traditional client/server networks, where one or more nodes act as servers that process requests from other nodes on the network.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About P2P (Peer-to-Peer)
P2P networking allows for faster file transfers and improved bandwidth utilization. Since all nodes are responsible for handling traffic, there is no need to wait for a server to become available before sending or receiving data. P2P networks can also be set up quickly and easily without expensive hardware or software.
