Peer-to-peer computing is a type of distributed application architecture that divides workloads among peers. These peers are equally privileged nodes on the network. These peers are also known as peer-to-peer networks. These networks help organizations and other entities deliver high-quality services and reduce costs.
While P2P networking allows you to share files and information with other users on the network, the main benefit is in its efficiency. It is possible to distribute files quickly and efficiently across multiple computers, which reduces network traffic bottlenecks. In addition, P2P networks don't require a central server, which means that other computers can pick up the slack if one goes down.
