Detailed explanation-1: -Because users can control access to files and resources on their computers, network administration isn’t controlled by one person. As such, peer-to-peer networks are generally used in small deployments and in situations where security isn’t a major concern, as in the case of home networks or small businesses.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
