Peer-to-peer (P2P)

Peer-to-peer (P2P) is a decentralized network architecture where two or more computers (known as peers) communicate with each other directly without any central server or intermediary. In a P2P network, all peers share resources such as data, files, and bandwidth with one another, allowing them to collaborate and exchange information freely. This type of network has become popular due to its efficiency and the fact that it can reduce the need for infrastructure and the costs associated with maintaining a centralized network. P2P technology is used in a variety of applications such as file sharing, online gaming, instant messaging, and cryptocurrency transactions.
