P2P

P2P, or peer-to-peer, refers to a decentralized method of sharing and exchanging data directly between computers or devices without relying on a central server. Each participant, known as a "peer," acts both as a client and a server, enabling efficient distribution of resources like files, data, or computing power. This approach reduces dependency on centralized systems, often improves resilience, and can enhance privacy. Common uses include file sharing networks, cryptocurrencies, and collaborative applications, allowing users to interact directly while maintaining control over their own data.
