Peer-to-peer networks are made up of several nodes that create a distributed architecture. Tasks are distributed among peers, each of whom has an equal status on the network. Node-to-node networks disperse requirements such as processing power and storage, eliminating the need for centralized coordination. Peers, as opposed to more typical client-server architectures, act as both suppliers and consumers of resources. Unstructured, structured, or mixed peer-to-peer networks are all possible.
