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, and tasks or workloads are partitioned between peers.[1] Computers in P2P networks run the same networking protocols and software.[2]
