P2P

P2P, short for peer-to-peer, refers to a decentralized network architecture where participants or nodes directly interact and communicate with each other without intermediaries. In a P2P network, each participant can act as both a client and a server, enabling direct sharing of resources, data, and services. P2P networks are commonly associated with file sharing, decentralized applications, and cryptocurrencies, as they promote decentralization, resilience, and distributed computing power.
