A Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network is a decentralized

NETWORKS

PEER-TO-PEER
NETWORK
network architecture in which each participant,
known as a peer, acts as both a client and a
server. In this model, peers have equal status
CLIENT-SERVER

ARCHITECTURE peers without relying on a central server or

1.Decentralization:
INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND

OF BOTH
• There is no central server or authority controlling the

network. Instead, each peer operates independently and

PEER-TO-PEER

collaborates with other peers to provide and access
resources.

• All peers have the same role and capabilities. They can

both request resources from and provide resources to

other peers in the network.
ARCHITECTURE

NETWORKS

• Peers interact directly with each other to exchange data,

perform computations, or share resources. This direct
interaction can enhance efficiency and reduce latency.

A Client-Server network is a centralized

OF BOTH
NETWORKS

PEER-TO-PEER
NETWORK
network architecture in which devices are
categorized into two distinct roles: clients and
servers. In this model, servers provide
CLIENT-SERVER
NETWORK
resources, services, or data, while clients
request and utilize these resources. The server
ARCHITECTURE is a central entity that manages and controls
OF P2P
NETWORKS
access to resources, whereas clients interact
with the server to obtain the information or
data they need.

1. Centralized Resources: The server manages and provides

INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND

resources or services, such as files, databases, or
NETWORKS
applications, to clients. The server is typically more
PEER-TO-PEER

powerful and has centralized control.

2. Role Differentiation: The server performs specific tasks

and services, while clients request and use these services.
CLIENT-SERVER

This separation of roles helps in organizing and managing

network operations efficiently.

3. Request-Response Model: Clients send requests to the

server for resources or services, and the server responds

each other randomly or in an ad-hoc manner.

Examples include early file-sharing networks like

Napster.
• Structured P2P Networks: Peers are organized in
a specific structure or overlay network. This

4. Resource Discovery
• Centralized Discovery: Some P2P networks use a central
server to help peers discover each other (e.g., Napster).

end-user devices such as

that provide resources, services, or data to clients.
They are typically centralized and have higher
CLIENT-SERVER
processing power and storage capacity compared

to clients.
• Functionality: Servers listen for incoming requests

model is fundamental to client-server interactions.
• Protocols: Communication between clients and servers is
governed by protocols such as HTTP (for web services), FTP (for

ADVATAGES AND

OF BOTH 5. Network Topology
NETWORKS
• Centralized: In a traditional client-server model, the server acts as a
PEER-TO-PEER
central hub that clients connect to. This centralized approach
NETWORK
simplifies management and security but can become a bottleneck if
the server is overwhelmed by too many client requests.
• Load Balancing: To address potential bottlenecks, load balancers can
CLIENT-SERVER distribute incoming client requests across multiple servers, ensuring
NETWORK
better performance and reliability.
6. Scalability
• Vertical Scaling: Upgrading the server's hardware (e.g., adding more
ARCHITECTURE CPU or RAM) to handle more clients or requests.
OF P2P
NETWORKS • Horizontal Scaling: Adding more servers to the network to handle
increased load and ensure redundancy. Load balancing is often used
to distribute requests evenly among multiple servers.

• Authentication and Authorization: Ensuring that clients are who they

• Web Applications: A client (web browser) requests web pages from a
web server, which processes the request and returns the HTML, CSS,

 ADVANTAGES OF P2P NETWORK
INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
OF BOTH • No Centralized Point of Failure: P2P networks lack a single central
NETWORKS
server. This means that if one peer fails, the network as a whole
PEER-TO-PEER remains operational since other peers can continue to provide
NETWORK
services and share resources.
• Resilience to Attacks: The absence of a central point makes it
harder for attacks to disrupt the entire network, increasing its
CLIENT-SERVER
NETWORK overall resilience.
• Dynamic Expansion: P2P networks can easily scale as new peers
join. Each new peer contributes additional resources (such as
bandwidth and storage), which helps the network handle increased
ARCHITECTURE
OF P2P load and demand.
NETWORKS
• Efficient Resource Utilization: As the network grows, it leverages
the combined resources of all participating peers, improving
ARCHITECTURE OF performance and capacity.

 ADVANTAGES OF P2P NETWORK
INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
OF BOTH • Lower Infrastructure Costs: P2P networks do not require

expensive central servers or extensive infrastructure. Instead,

PEER-TO-PEER they utilize the existing resources of all participating nodes.
NETWORK

• Reduced Maintenance: With no central server to maintain,

operational costs and administrative overhead can be
CLIENT-SERVER
significantly lower.
NETWORK
• Shared Resources: Resources like bandwidth, storage, and
processing power are distributed across all peers, leading to
more efficient utilization compared to a centralized approach.

• Load Distribution: The network’s distributed nature helps

balance the load among peers, reducing the risk of bottlenecks

INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
OF BOTH • Anonymous Transactions: Some P2P networks, such as those

used for cryptocurrencies, offer anonymity for transactions,

PEER-TO-PEER enhancing user privacy.
NETWORK

• Versatile Applications: P2P networks can support a wide range

of applications, from file sharing to decentralized computing
CLIENT-SERVER
and communication.
NETWORK
• Community-Driven Development: The decentralized nature
allows for community-driven innovation and development, as
participants can contribute to and shape the network’s
ARCHITECTURE
OF P2P
functionality.
NETWORKS
• Reduced Bandwidth Demand: By distributing file sharing across
multiple peers, the bandwidth demand on any single source is

reduced, leading to more efficient network use.

 DISADVANTAGES OF P2P NETWORK
INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
OF BOTH
• Security Risks: In a P2P network, each node (peer) can potentially
NETWORKS
introduce vulnerabilities. Since there is no central authority to

manage security, malicious nodes might distribute malware or access
NETWORK
sensitive data. Ensuring consistent security measures across all peers
can be challenging.

CLIENT-SERVER
NETWORK
• Lack of Central Control: Without a central authority, managing and
enforcing policies can be difficult. This can lead to issues with
consistency, reliability, and governance, especially in larger networks.

ARCHITECTURE
OF P2P
• Scalability Issues: As the number of peers increases, managing and
NETWORKS
coordinating network traffic can become complex. Each peer might
need to handle more connections, which can lead to network
congestion and performance degradation.

ADVATAGES AND

OF BOTH
• Data Redundancy and Reliability: Since data is distributed across many
NETWORKS
peers, it can be challenging to ensure that it is consistently available

become temporarily inaccessible.

• Resource Constraints: Each peer in a P2P network typically contributes

CLIENT-SERVER its own resources (such as bandwidth, storage, and processing power).
NETWORK

Inadequate resources from some peers can impact the overall

performance and availability of the network.

ARCHITECTURE • Legal and Ethical Issues: P2P networks are often associated with file

INTRODUCTION
ADVATAGES AND

power, while others might have limited resources, leading to
uneven performance.
CLIENT-SERVER
NETWORK
• Difficulty in Troubleshooting: Identifying and resolving issues can
be more complex in a P2P network because there is no central

maintenance, updates, and management. This includes security
patches, hardware repairs, and software updates. The administrative
overhead can be significant, especially in large organizations.
