Peer-to-peer (P2P)

Peer-to-peer (P2P) is a network model where computers, or "peers," connect directly to each other instead of relying on a central server. Each peer can share and access resources, such as files or internet bandwidth, so everyone can contribute and benefit equally. This decentralized approach enhances efficiency and resilience, as it reduces dependency on a single point of failure. P2P is commonly used in applications like file sharing, cryptocurrency transactions, and collaborative platforms, allowing users to interact directly without intermediaries.
