Answer:
1. Filesharing speeds improve as the number of devices increases
2. Workloads are distributed among peers
Explanation:
A peer to peer network is an network infrastructure which allows two or more computer systems to connect and share resources without requiring any centralized server.
This may be done physically or virtually.
In a client-server network, a connection between a client and a server is estsblished to provide the client with the server's resources (files, mail, storage, etc).
With a p2p network, each device is considered a "peer"-with functions that contribute to the whole network.
Each computer is both a client and a server and share resources with other computers on the network.
Common advantages:
Easy file sharing: An advanced p2p network can share files quickly over large distances. Files can be accessed anytime or as long as the resource is up.
Reduced costs: An advanced p2p does not need time to invest in a separate computer for a server because it doesn't require a network operating system or any full time individual to operate it.
Adaptability: P2p networks extend to include new client easily. This benefit makes these networks more flexible than client-server.
Realibility: Unlike client-server, which can fail is a centralized server malfunctions, a p2p network will remain functional even if a main server crashes, establishing the art of redundancy.
High performance: 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.
Efficency: Emerging p2p networks enable colloboration with devices that have different resources that can benefit the whole network.
As we are dealing with the networking side, this is alll you would need to know but if you are looking at it from a security standpoint, p2p is very dangerous.
A good p2p network is the notorious bittorrent, which lets you share files (called torrents) with others. While this was good in theory, it ended up causing a lot of damage to computer systems.
As with any p2p network, be sure you aren't part of something illegal. A lot of p2p networks are utilizes to transmit malware(botnets, trojans, viruses, backdoors, crypto-malware, etc).
