Abstract

A peer-to-peer (P2P) system refers to a distributed system in which the role played by each member is roughly equivalent, that is, a member both consumes and provides services to other members. Therefore, a member in such a system is often referred to as a peer. The primary design goal of P2P systems is to facilitate sharing of resources, including files, processing power, and network bandwidth.
