file sharing among peer groups  

Definición

  • Peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks are networks of computers that allow users to directly search for and download files (such as audio and video files) from other computers in the network. The popular but now defunct Napster was not a true P2P network because individual computers in the network searched a centralized server for music files and then downloaded those files from the computers that hosted them.
