About

Peer networks is a class of distributed systems where computational nodes, known as peers, function as both clients and servers, sharing resources directly with one another without relying on a central authority. As a research concept, it investigates the architecture, protocols, performance, security, and social dynamics of these decentralized structures, analyzing their efficiency, resilience, and diverse applications in areas such as data distribution, distributed computing, and secure communication.
