peer networking

Peer networking refers to a decentralized form of computer communication where each device, or "peer," acts as both a client and a server. Instead of relying on a central authority, peers share resources, data, or services directly with one another. This setup enhances resilience, scalability, and efficiency, as each participant contributes to the network's overall function. Peer networking is commonly used in file sharing, collaborative platforms, and blockchain technologies, allowing for secure, distributed interactions without a single point of failure or control.
