Study Notes
Peer-to-Peer Networks
- Primary goal: to share resources and enable collaborative working, provide specific services, or execute specific tasks.
- Key difference from client-server networks: computers in a P2P network have equal permissions and responsibilities for processing, serving, and receiving data.
- Structure: a group of computers linked together with equal permissions and responsibilities, each providing access to resources and sharing data.
Key Uses of Peer-to-Peer Networks
- File sharing: enables file sharing between devices, benefiting businesses by reducing the need for intermediate servers to transfer files.
Advantages of Peer-to-Peer Networking
- Cost-effective: eliminates the need for an intermediate server to transfer files, thus saving money.
