Detailed explanation-1: -Networks without an authentication server are called workgroups or peer-to-peer networks. This model is appropriate for small networks with only a few computers, in environments where high security is not required. They are common to small offices or home networks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Home Peer-to-Peer Networks Most home computer networks today are peer-to-peer networks. Residential users configure their computers in peer workgroups to allow sharing of files, printers, and other resources equally among all devices.
Detailed explanation-3: -Peer-to-peer networking is common on small local area networks (LANs), particularly home networks. Both wired and wireless home networks can be configured as peer-to-peer environments. Computers in a peer-to-peer network run the same networking protocols and software.
Detailed explanation-4: -P2P networks are most commonly used in home networks. Many home computers make use of P2P networks. The users have the configuration to the peer workgroups for allowing the sharing of resources, files, and printers to the user.
Detailed explanation-5: -Some examples of P2P architectures include BitTorrent (file sharing), Tor (anonymous internet browsing), and Bitcoin (a decentralized transaction ledger). Peers only have access to the data that they share with each other.
