sidevõrku

side võrku is an Estonian phrase that translates to "side network" or "sideways network." In a technological context, it most commonly refers to a peer-to-peer network topology where devices can communicate directly with each other without the need for a central server. This contrasts with traditional client-server models where all communication is mediated by a central point.

The concept of a side võrku can be applied in various scenarios. For instance, in wireless networking, devices can form ad hoc networks, allowing for direct data exchange. This is useful in situations where traditional network infrastructure is unavailable or impractical, such as in disaster relief operations or temporary event setups.

In the realm of distributed computing and blockchain technology, side võrku principles are fundamental. Participants in a decentralized network directly validate transactions and maintain the ledger, distributing the workload and increasing resilience. This distributed nature makes such networks resistant to single points of failure and censorship.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe informal or decentralized communication channels within an organization or community. These might be unofficial channels that bypass formal hierarchies, allowing for faster information dissemination or collaboration. Ultimately, side võrku emphasizes direct, decentralized connections between entities.
