Personal Concept of Peer to Peer technology.

In my personal opinion, this new sytem helps the world to have a fully globalised society. This due to the fact, that wioth this sytem there can be a free send/receive of different documents, files, images, music, videos, and all kindo of things that require a fully globalized world. This system eventhough may not be secure enough, it helps to develop the society.

Concept of Peer to Peer system

In a peer-to-peer network each computer acts as both a server and a client—supplying and receiving files—with bandwidth and processing distributed among all members of the network. P2P networks are used by Bluetooth-powered electronics and Internet-based communication services, but development has largely been driven by online file sharing.

P2P file sharing was introduced to the general public in 1999 when American college student Shawn Fanning created the music-sharing service Napster. It employed a centralized index server, which users would search on the basis of song title or artist name. If the index located the song on the hard drive of any other computer that was currently connected to the network, a user could download a personal copy while simultaneously offering his or her own computer-supplied files in response to other users’ searches.

BitTorrent, used commonly for distributing large video files, employs a “swarm” model, whereby files are downloaded in simultaneous pieces from multiple host computers. Newer services have established degrees of encryption and anonymity to protect users from legal action by copyright holders.
