peer-to-peer connections

Peer-to-peer (P2P) connections refer to a direct link between two devices, like computers or smartphones, that communicate directly without needing a central server. This setup allows each device to share resources, files, or data directly with another, often resulting in faster transfer speeds and increased privacy. P2P networks are used for file sharing, voice calls, and decentralized applications, enabling participants to collaborate or exchange information directly, rather than going through a middleman. This approach can improve efficiency and resilience but also requires careful security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
