 Peer to Peer

Introduction:-

Stands for "Peer to Peer." In a P2P network, the "peers" are computer systems
which are connected to each other via the Internet. Files can be shared directly
between systems on the network without the need of a central server. In other
words, each computer on a P2P network becomes a file server as well as client.

The only requirements for a computer to join a peer-to-peer network are an

Internet connection and P2P software. Common P2P software programs include
Kazaa, Limewire, BearShare, Morpheus, and Acquisition. These programs
connect to a P2P network, such as "Gnutella," which allows the computer to
access thousands of other systems on the network.

Once connected to the network, P2P software allows you to search for files on
other people's computers. Meanwhile, other users on the network can search for
files on your computer, but typically only within a single folder that you have
designated to share. While P2P networking makes file sharing easy and
convenient, is also has led to a lot of software piracy and illegal music downloads.
Therefore, it is best to be on the safe side and only download software and music
from legitimate websites.

Aims and Benefits:-

• Easy file sharing: An advanced P2P network can share files quickly over large
distances. Files can be accessed anytime.

• Reduced costs: There is no need to invest in a separate computer for a server

when setting up a P2P network. It doesn’t require a network operating system or
a full-time system administrator.

• Adaptability: P2P network extends to include new clients easily. This benefit
makes these networks more flexible than client-server networks. Its scalability

• Reliability: Unlike a client-server network, which can fail if the central server
malfunctions, a P2P network will remain functional even if the central server
crashes. If a single computer goes down, the others continue as normal. This also
prevents bottlenecking since traffic is distributed across multiple computers.
 • High performance: While a client-server network performs less effectively
when more clients join the network, a P2P network can improve its performance
when more clients join it. This is because each client in a P2P network is also a
server that contributes resources to the network.

• Efficiency: Emerging P2P networks enable collaboration between devices that

have different resources that can benefit the whole network.

Course Outcomes Integrated :- Unlike client-server networks, P2P uses resources

and also provides them. This results in additional resources if the number of nodes
increases.It requires specialized software. It allows resource sharing among the
network. Since the nodes act as servers also, there is a constant threat of attack.

Actual Procedure Followed :-

1.Allows you to connect two or more computers to one system.

2.This connection allows you to easily share data without having to use a separate
server for your file-sharing.

What is c Computer Network?

A computer network consists of 2 or additional computing devices that are

connected so as to share the elements of your network (its resources) and also the
data you store there, the foremost basic network (which consists of just two
connected computers) will expand and become additional usable when extra
computers be part of and add their resources to those being shared. The first pc,
yours, is usually spoken as your native pc. It is additional seemingly to be used
as a location wherever you are doing work, a digital computer, than as a storage
or dominant location, a server. As additional and additional computers ar
connected to a network and share their resources, the network becomes a
additional powerful tool, as a result of staff employing a network with additional
data and additional capability are able to accomplish more through those another
computers or extra resources. The real power of networking computers becomes
apparent if you envision your own network growing then connecting it with
alternative distinct net works, sanctioning communication and resource sharing
across each networks. That is, one network will be connected to a different
network and become a additional powerful tool attributable to the bigger
resources
Peer to Peer Network:

A peer is considered an equal. All computers on a peer-to-peer network can be

considered equals, That is to say, no one computer is in charge of the network’s
operation. Each computer controls its own information and is capable of
functioning as either a client or a server depending on which is needed at the time
.Peer-to-peer networks are popular as home networks and for use in small
companies because they are inexpensive and easy to install. Most operating
systems (the software that runs the basic computer functionality) come with peer-
to-peer networking capability built in. The only other cost involved with setting
up a peer to-peer network comes into play if a computer does not have a network
interface card, or NIC (the device that physically connects your computer to your
network’s cabling), already installed.
Client – Based Network: Client-based networks are a further refinement to the
concept of a server based network that relieves the heavy burden on the network’s
capacity resulting from frequent server-performed transactions. A client-based
network takes better advantage of the server’s powerful processors and of the
increasingly powerful computers used in typical workstations. A client based
network utilizes a client workstation’s power in processing some functions
locally while requesting additional processing from a server whenever it is needed
for increased speed.

Client-based network servers process requests from clients and return just the
results, rather than sending the original resource to the client to be processed and
returned after computations are complete. Client-based networks ,therefore, take
advantage of the powerful processing capabilities of both the client and the server,
This type of arrangement may include application servers (where entire computer
programs are shared from the server) and communications servers.
Topology used for peer to peer network connection:

Mesh topology:

A network setup wherever every laptop and network device is interconnected

with each other, permitting most transmissions to be distributed even though one
in every of the connections go down. it's a topology usually used for wireless
networks. Below could be a visual example of an easy laptop setup on a network
employing a topology.

Advantages of Topology:

• Manages high amounts of traffic, as a result of multiple devices will transmit

knowledge at the same time.

• A failure of 1 device doesn't cause an occasion within the network or

transmission of knowledge.

• Adding further devices doesn't disrupt knowledge transmission between

alternative devices.

Disadvantages of Network Topology:

▪ The price to implement is beyond alternative network topologies, creating it a

less fascinating choice.

▪ Building and maintaining the topology is troublesome and time overwhelming.

▪ The likelihood of redundant connections is high, that adds to the high prices and
potential for reduced potency.

Advantages : The main advantage of a peer-to-peer network is that it’s easier to

line up and use than a network with a fervent server. Peer-to-peer networks have
faith in the restricted network server options that square measure designed into
Windows, like the flexibility to share files and printers. Recent versions of
Windows, as well as Windows seven, Vista, and Windows XP, embrace wizards
that mechanically assemble a basic network for you so you don’t have to be
compelled to manually assemble any network settings. Another advantage of
peer-to-peer networks is that they'll be more cost-effective than server-based
networks. Here square measure a number of the explanations that peer-to-peer
networks square measure inexpensive:
 • Peer-to-peer networks don’t need you to use a fervent server pc. Any pc on the
network will perform as each a network server and a user’s digital computer.
(However, you'll assemble a pc as a fervent server if you would like to. Doing
therefore leads to higher performance however negates the price good thing about
not having a fervent server pc.)

• Peer-to-peer networks square measure easier to line up and use, which implies
that you just will pay less time determining a way to build the network work and
keep it operating.

• You should contemplate the price of the server software itself. Windows Server
will value the maximum amount as $200 per user. and therefore the total value
will increase as your network grows, though the price per user drops. For a peer-
to-peer Windows server, you get Windows once. You don’t pay any further
charges supported the amount of users on your network.

Draw Backs:

Yes, peer-to-peer networks square measure easier to put in and manage than
domain-based networks, however they are doing have their drawbacks: Because
peer-to-peer networks square measure supported computers running shopper
versions of Windows, they’re subject to the inherent limitations of these
Windows versions. shopper versions of Windows square measure designed
primarily to be associate degree package for a single-user microcomputer instead
of to operate as a part of a network. These versions can’t manage a file or printer
server as with efficiency as a true network package. If you don’t came upon a
fanatical network server, somebody (hopefully, not you) could have to be
compelled to abide the inconvenience of sharing his or her laptop with the
network. With Windows Server, the server computers square measure dedicated
to network use in order that nobody has got to place up with this inconvenience.
Although a peer-to-peer network could have a lower value per laptop for smaller
networks, the price distinction between peer-to-peer networks and Windows
Server is a smaller amount vital in larger networks (say, 10 or a lot of clients).
Conclusion:- Peer-to-peer networks can be implemented with very little
investment costs, but in order for the network to work properly, the users must be
very experienced with computers, and strict guidelines must be implemented and
followed in order for the data to remain secure and archived properly. In my
experience, peer-to-peer networks tend to become more of a headache instead of
a help after about 6 computers, especially if your company has a moderate
employee turnover. •A Peer to-Peer network is ideal for home use or small.
