PeertoPeerArchitektur
PeertoPeerArchitektur, often abbreviated as P2P, describes a distributed network architecture where individual nodes, known as peers, can act as both clients and servers. Unlike traditional client-server models where a central server handles all requests, P2P systems distribute tasks and resources among all participating nodes. Each peer has the capability to share its own resources, such as files, processing power, or network bandwidth, with other peers in the network.
The fundamental principle of P2P is decentralization. This means there is no single point of failure, making
Common applications of P2P architecture include file sharing, where users can directly download files from each
While offering advantages in resilience and scalability, P2P systems can also present challenges. Security can be
