thumb|A peer-to-peer (P2P) network in which interconnected nodes ("peers") share resources amongst each other without the use of a centralized administrative system Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed computing or networking architecture in which participants share part of their own resources, such as processing power, storage, or network capacity. These resources are made directly available to other peers without reliance on intermediary entities, and participants act as both resource providers and resource requesters.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) is a system where computers or devices connect directly with each other to share resources like storage or computing power, without needing a central authority to manage the exchange. It matters because it allows people to work together efficiently while reducing dependence on intermediary organizations that would otherwise control the flow of resources.

thumb|The opposite of a peer-to-peer network: based on the client–server model In contrast, the traditional client–server model assigns resource provider and requester roles to different participants, with centralized servers acting as providers and clients acting as requesters.
