What is Peer-to-Peer?
What does 'Peer-to-Peer' mean?
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is a software feature that allows direct communication and sharing between devices without the need for a central server. It works by connecting individual devices directly to one another, creating a network where users can share resources, such as files, without the need for any intermediary servers or services. One of the main benefits of P2P technology is its decentralized nature, which means that there is no single point of failure. This makes it a much more resilient and reliable option
