Detailed explanation-1: -A peer-to-peer network is one in which two or more PCs share files and access to devices such as printers without requiring a separate server computer or server software.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a peer-to-peer network there are no dedicated servers nor a hierarchy among the computers.
Detailed explanation-3: -A P2P network does not require a central server for coordination. Instead, each computer on the network acts as both a client (a computer that needs to access a service) and a server (a computer that serves the needs of the client accessing a service).
Detailed explanation-4: -The primary difference between these two terms is that, in a peer-to-peer network, every node can ask for assistance and deliver services. While in a client-server network, the client nodes demand services and the server node answers with assistance.
Detailed explanation-5: -In peer-to-peer (P2P) networking, a group of computers are linked together with equal permissions and responsibilities for processing data. Unlike traditional client-server networking, no devices in a P2P network are designated solely to serve or to receive data.
