More recently, the term has been used to distinguish between imaging and records management systems that specialize in paper capture and records respectively. Document management systems [...]
“SP2A is a thin framework enabling peer-to-peer based Grids. In practice, SP2A is a lightweight java package allowing the development of service-oriented peers (SOPs). Several SP2A-based SOP prototypes are under development. These SOPs can be used to form unstructured supernode networks (USNs), and exchange information about the services they host using 3rd generation (DHT-based) P2P [...]
Peer-to-peer Architecture Often referred to simply as peer-to-peer, or abbreviated P2P, peer-to-peer architecture is a type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures where some computers are dedicated to serving the others. Peer-to-peer networks are generally simpler but they usually do not offer the same performance [...]

With the increasing popularity of P2P, creative juices of people have started flowing. Now individuals are competing in terms of who can write the smallest P2P client. TinyP2P is a functional peer-to-peer file sharing application, written in fifteen lines of code, in the Python programming language. Ed Felten has written TinyP2P to illustrate the difficulty [...]
This post has been long overdue. With so many P2P clients out there, sometimes it is hard to pick which one to go for…which is not surprising because I am too.. In addition, all the legal battles going on don’t help the cause either. A bunch of The P2P programs like Grokster have called it [...]
Three major types of P2P network are:Pure P2P: Peers act as clients and server There is no central server managing the network There is no central router Hybrid P2P: Has a central server that keeps information on peers and responds to requests for that information. Peers are responsible for hosting the information (as the central [...]
