Stoica Peer-to-peer A distributed network architecture may be called a Peer-to-Peer (P-to-P, P2P,.) network, if the participants share a part of their own hardware resources (processing power, storage capacity, network link capacity, printers,.). These shared resources are necessary to provide the Service and content offered by the network (e.g. file sharing or shared workspaces for collaboration). They are accessible by other peers Rüdiger Schollmeier: A Definition of Peer-to-Peer Networking for the Classification of Peer-to-Peer Architectures and Applications.
