Peer To Peernetwork
In its simplest form, a peer-to-peer network is created when two or more
PCs are connected and share resources without going through a separate server
computer. A P2P network can be an ad hoc connection—a couple of computers
connected via a Universal Serial Bus to transfer files.
benefits
There is no need for full-time System Administrator. Every user is the administrator of his machine. User can control their shared resources.
much easier to setup than a client server network and doesnt need anyone with specialist knowledege which will cost more.
All the resources and contents are shared by all the peers, unlike server-client architecture where Server shares all the contents and
resources.
disadvantages
Security in this system is very less viruses, spywares,trojans, etc malwares can easily transmitted over this P-2-P architecture.
files and resources are not really organised into specific shared area. they are stored individual computers and
might be difficult to locate if the computer owners doesnt have a logical filling system.
