The Peer Network

A peer network is a system where computers or devices connect directly to each other without a central server, sharing resources and information equally. Each device, or "peer," can act as both a client and a server, enabling efficient data exchange. Think of it like a group of friends sharing files directly instead of going through a single organizer. Peer networks are used for sharing large files, collaborating on projects, or communicating in a decentralized manner, increasing resilience and reducing reliance on centralized infrastructure.
