What are peer to peer (p2p) networks?
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are decentralized communication models where each participant, or "peer," functions as both a client and a server. Unlike traditional client-server models, P2P networks distribute tasks and workloads among all peers. This decentralized nature enhances the network's robustness, scalability, and fault tolerance. Here are some key characteristics and types of P2P networks:
