Peer-to-Peer Network

A Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network is a decentralized system where individual computers, called "peers," connect directly to each other to share resources like files, data, or processing power. Unlike traditional networks that rely on a central server, each peer can act both as a client and a server, contributing to the network’s functionality. This setup allows for efficient resource sharing, collaboration, and redundancy, as data is distributed across multiple peers. P2P networks are commonly used for file sharing, streaming, and collaborative projects, providing a resilient and scalable way to exchange information without a centralized authority.
