Peer to Peer (P2P) Networks

Peer to peer (P2P) networking is a distributed application architecture that lacks a central server. In peer to peer networks, members make a portion of their resources available to other members of the network, so peers are both suppliers and consumers of resources.[1] Computers in P2P networks run the same networking protocols and software and share equal responsibility for processing data.[2]
