What does P2P mean?<\/h2>\n

Peer-to-peer<\/strong> or P2P is a network of computers, where resources are commonly shared among all peers (computers), also called nodes to form an interconnected network. It is a distributed application architecture where nodes are connected in a network to divide tasks and workload among themselves.<\/p>\n

Creation and history<\/h2>\n

The P2P architecture existed right from when the internet came into existence as the ARPANET. Back then in 1969, the ARPANET connected major research institutes across the US, and these computers were treated as equal peers rather than clients and servers.<\/p>\n

Later, in 1979 the USENET was formed on a similar Unix-to-Unix model. However, it was only in 1999 that the P2P model became prominent with the invention of Napster. With this users could search for mp2 files on neighboring desktops. This led to the model being widely famous and led to the establishment of services like Freenet, Bitcoin, etc.<\/p>\n

Architecture<\/h2>\n

Unlike client-server models, where the receiving computer indicates its needs and the providing computer generates them, in the p2p model, all peers are both suppliers and receivers. It is a decentralized network where each of the nodes has equal access and authority in the network.<\/p>\n

However, there might be computers with higher authority, they are called super peers. They can distribute more content than they receive. <\/p>\n

Applications<\/h2>\n

A P2P network is usually set up in case of heavy workload so that work can be divided in smaller chunks for best efficiency. One of the major uses of the P2P network is content delivery. Since more nodes have access to each other, distribution capacity increases.<\/p>\n
