PeertoPeerAnwendungen
PeertoPeerAnwendungen, often abbreviated as P2P applications, are software programs that enable direct communication and resource sharing between individual computers, referred to as peers, within a network. Unlike traditional client-server models where one central server provides services to multiple clients, P2P applications distribute the roles of both client and server among all participating nodes. This decentralized architecture allows for a more robust and scalable system.
In a P2P network, each peer can act as both a provider and a consumer of resources.
The advantages of P2P applications include enhanced scalability, improved fault tolerance, and often lower infrastructure costs
