P2P (peer-to-peer) synchronization
Peer-to-peer (P2P) synchronization is a method where devices directly connect and share data with each other without relying on a centralized server. Each device acts as both a client and a server, exchanging updates to keep files, settings, or information consistent across all devices. This decentralized approach can enhance speed, improve redundancy, and increase privacy, as data is distributed directly between devices. P2P synchronization is commonly used in file sharing, collaborative work, and distributed systems, ensuring everyone has the most recent version of shared data in real time or near real-time.
