Detailed explanation-1: -P2P networks are widely used for file sharing. P2P file sharing allows people to share files with each other without the need of a centralized server. This means that users can send even large files quickly without worrying about bandwidth and server capacity.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
