Peer-to-Peer (P2P)

Return to Glossary

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is a network where the “ Peers” are computer systems which are connected to each other via the Internet. Files can be shared directly between systems on the network without the need of a central server. In other words, each computer on a P2P network becomes a file server as well as a client.
