Does P2P networking safe

[CACTUS101]

What is better to configure in networking. I believe P2P is the easiest one. Because here nothing is needed and the basic protocol comes pack with the software and hardware. I need a basic overview of the same. Also what is a better P2P application for files sharing. The one of the best thing about this the rate of data transfer in it. And is it safe to use P2P Networking on big network.

P2P is a another way of sharing information is not to be used as servers, but to link anyone with information. This has the advantage of eliminating the servers, which are expensive machines as powerful. However, this greatly complicates the notion of information retrieval. This mode of information sharing is P2P. P2P offers ease of use is high, since there are no worries of connection to the right server.

One can assume that each user of a P2P is both a bit client and server this is not always accurate, depending on the architecture used. Once the plaintiff knows where is the information he desires, both computers are then able to exchange information directly, without having to go through a third machine, that is to say without using resources other than their own. The document search is facilitated. Indeed, the server is knowing if a file is available on the network, we are able to learn systematically.

P2P is it simple to install and use, that a particular search. Hence a certain enthusiasm for this type of technology. For those who have never used P2P software, this is what it asks to download software from the site that has (usually) the same name as the software. The install always clicking on next. "Double-click it to launch it and click on" Connect ". Then you have at your disposal a search mode, you will find what you want. It Then you just need to double click on the file offered in return for your research, and expect that he has downloaded.

The most famous of this method is probably P2P Napster. This architecture consists of a single server, whose purpose is to identify the files offered by the different clients. Unlike client / server mode, this centralized server has no files. It has two main types of information: information about the file (name, size, etc), and those on the user (username, IP, file number, connection type,etc)
The bad part of the same is sensitive to the partitioning of the network (server unreachable) and attacks.

On the side client, nothing more simple. Once connected through special software, it can search like a conventional engine. Then obtained a list of users with the desired resource. Just then click the right link to begin downloading. This step is completely independent of the server, and is the only part of P2P software.
