Peer-to-Peer Networks - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Peer-to-peer networks: Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are decentralized networks where each computer acts as both a client and a server, directly communicating with other peers to share resources and data. This contrasts with traditional client-server networks, which rely on a central server to manage all communication and data storage. See also Networks, Network model._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
