	Networks 101: Peer-To-Peer Networks
		Networks can allow computers, servers, and other devices to talk to each other.
		There are a number of different types of networks, and it's important to find the right one to fit your needs so that you don't waste time and money with one that is too complex for your needs, or one that doesn't fulfill your needs.
		A peer-to-peer network is sometimes the perfect (and cheap) solution for connecting the computers at a small nonprofit.

	Peer-to-Peer Network
		For example: one user on the network might choose to allow their hard drive to be shared in a 'read only' manner, while another user may allow 'full access' and still another might disallow access to some or all of the files on their drive.
		Peer to peer networks are ideal for businesses or individuals who wish to only network a small number of computers...
		On the down side, in a peer to peer network if a computer is shut down and it held information that was necessary to other members on the network, it would be inaccessible.

	Peer-to-peer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively few servers.
		Networks such as Gnutella or Freenet use a peer-to-peer structure for all purposes, and are sometimes referred to as true peer-to-peer networks, although Gnutella is greatly facilitated by directory servers that inform peers of the network addresses of other peers.
		Peers are responsible for hosting the information (as the central server does not store files), for letting the central server know what files they want to share, and for downloading its shareable resources to peers that request it.

	Biohealthmatics.com - Peer-to-Peer Networks
		Peer-to-peer networks are a type of network where each computer connected to the network has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities, hence the name ‘peer’.
		Unlike the client-server network, there is no dedicated server in the peer-to-peer network; each computer on the network is capable of being both a server and a client.
		Network speed and performance starts to deteriorate usually after more than 10 computers are on the network.

	.NET P2P: Writing Peer-to-Peer Networked Apps with the Microsoft .NET Framework -- MSDN Magazine, February 2001
		In this scenario, a peer can either use information from a local configuration scheme to discover the clients (for example, a configuration entry that tells it who to talk with) or it can employ network broadcasting and discovery techniques such as IP multicast to discover the other peers.
		Network bandwidth is often the scarcest resource (hence the bottleneck) in a peer-to-peer application.
		These peers use the ShareBaby service to register the names of the files they want to share and to query for the locations of files they are interested in obtaining from another peer.

		A peer-to-peer network is a cost-effective, low maintenance way to share files, printers, and Internet connections among multiple computers.
		With a peer-to-peer network, your entire staff (or just selected members) can access files in a common group of folders, send print jobs to any printer on the system, access the Internet through a single high-speed connection, and communicate with one another via private, in-house instant messaging.
		Peer-to-peer networks installed in small or home offices are reliable, low-maintenance, and require no administration, but like all mechanical/electrical contrivances, sometimes they just stop working.

	Server versus Peer to Peer
		Unlike client-server networks, where network information is stored on a centralized file server computer and then made available to large groups of workstation computers, the information stored over a peer-to-peer network is stored locally on each individual computer.
		Most network operating system software (such as Windows 95 and Windows 98) allows each peer-to-peer computer to determine which resources will be available for use by all other users of the remaining computers on the network.
		In client-server networks, network printing is normally handled in one of two ways, either by attaching a printer directly to the server (depending upon where the physical server is located) or by attaching a print server to the network.

	Chapter 6: Software
		In a peer-to-peer network, all computers are considered equal; they all have the same abilities to use the resources available on the network.
		Peer-to-peer networks are designed primarily for small to medium local area networks.
		The network operating system provides the mechanism to integrate all the components of the network and allow multiple users to simultaneously share the same resources irrespective of physical location.

	Peer to Peer vs. Client-Server Networks
		Network access speeds are usually faster than those found on peer-to-peer networks, which is reasonable given the vast numbers of clients that this architecture can support.
		In client-server networks, network printing is normally handled by a print server, a small box with at least two connectors: one for a printer, and another that attaches directly to the network cabling.
		In the case of peer-to-peer networks, by contrast, every PC requires its own modem for access to the outside world, unless you use special software packages like Wingate or Sygate that can provide the same ability to a Peer-to-Peer network.

	QuickStudy: Peer-to-Peer Network
		A P2P network can be an ad hoc connection—a couple of computers connected via a Universal Serial Bus to transfer files.
		A P2P network also can be a permanent infrastructure that links a half-dozen computers in a small office over copper wires.
		But a fast-emerging solution called File Area Networks or FANs holds the promise of a more efficient, simpler way to do file consolidation and replication, and in a way that is rich with business and application-level context.

	Peer-to-Peer: Chapter 1: A Network of Peers
		These changes are seen in the way we use the network, the breakdown of cooperation on the Net, the increasing deployment of firewalls on the Net, and the growth of asymmetric network links such as ADSL and cable modems.
		The network model of user applications--not just their consumption of bandwidth, but also their methods of addressing and communicating with other machines--changed significantly with the rise of the commercial Internet and the advent of millions of home users in the 1990s.
		A network designer, assuming that there are only so many authors in the world and therefore that asymmetric broadband is the perfect optimization, is confounded by this development.

	Peer-To-Peer File Sharing Policy
		While the definition itself is controversial, generally a peer-to-peer (often referred to as P2P) computer network refers to any network that does not have fixed clients and servers, but a number of peer nodes that function as both clients and servers to the other nodes on the network.
		It is the policy of APU that the university's network connections may not be used to violate copyright laws.
		The data network must be available for APU's students, faculty, and staff to use for academic research and essential daily operations.

	Setting Up a Wireless Peer-to-Peer Network
		As with standard LAN adapters, wireless network cards can function in a peer-to-peer mode and are relatively simple to configure, with only a few exceptions.
		By default, most wireless network adapters ship in what they call "Infrastructure Mode." This is the mode used when an access point or wireless router is present in your network.
		For wireless networks running in peer-to-peer mode, this setting needs to be changed to "Ad-Hoc Mode." This allows the cards to talk to each other and not search for an access point or router.

	Peer-to-Peer Network
		The first thing I did was to get two network cards (which I got at a second hand computer store for $5.00 each) and a RG-56 cable to connect them.
		At this point I could have celebrated, but despite the fact that both machines said the network was there, they didn't see each other.
		After a lot of reading an ohmmeter to check the cable, I discovered the cable was a straight through cable and what I needed was a crossover cable (where the receive and transmit wires are crossed).

	SIP Goes Peer-to-Peer - Technology - Network Computing
		By setting up P2P SIP on a few Wi-Fi phones and hotspots, a communications network can be erected quickly for temporary installations, such as those used in emergency response situations or by media personnel in covering a news event.
		Without any servers in the network, pure P2P networks tend to be highly scaleable and very resistant to failure.
		This registration is either broadcasted onto the network or more likely sent to the well-known address of an existing node in the P2P SIP network.

	NAT and Peer-to-peer networking (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Peer-to-peer is a style of networking in which a group of computers communicate directly with each other, rather than through a central server.
		As IP addresses become scarce, a technique known as Network Address Translation, or NAT, was developed to allow the use of a single IP address for a whole network of computers.
		A NAT sits inbetween the public Internet and the network it serves, and works by rewriting IP addresses and port numbers in IP headers on the fly so the packets all appear to be coming from (or going to) the single public IP address of the NAT device instead of the actual source or destination.

	Using a Windows 95 peer-to-peer network
		Normal networking, like the kind you'd find in a large office or university, uses what is called a client-server system.
		Most of the networking pros I've talked to consider peer-to-peer networking dreadful, but they may feel that way because they're not familiar with the way Windows 95 handles it.
		Most users probably would not find anything different between a networked PC and one that stands alone, except for their ability to retrieve files stored on another computer or print through a remote printer.

	Advogato: Advogato's Number: Peer to Peer
		Advogato is back, and this week he takes a look under the current hype wave surrounding peer to peer networking (known as P2P among the power elite), and suggests that it might be worthwhile to free software hackers, after all.
		However, peer to peer networking has a refreshing emphasis on dynamic and automatic configuration, while most HA work involves manual configuration of the cluster.
		This is a showstopper for consumer applications; I believe that either the HA world will have to learn how to do automatic configuration, or peer to peer networking will gradually displace it as it becomes more robust and capable.

		This type of network only requires terminators on each end, so you can save $50-60 because the purchase of a hub is not necessary.
		In a peer-to-peer networking configuration, there is no "server" -- computers simply connect together in a workgroup to share files, peripherals (including printers), and Internet access.
		If you are planning to upgrade your network later, you should purchase a hub with enough ports to handle your future expansion needs.
