REDES PEER-TO-PEER: ESTUDO ESTRUTURAL DAS CARACTERISTICAS

With the massive growth of users in the worldwide network of computers, networks have become larger and more powerful. This growth was barred from limiting the centralized model of client-server, where a machine provides resources and machines connected to it consume these resources, or network performance depends exclusively on that server performance to receive requests, process and return the result for client machines. The solution to breaking this barrier was the decentralization of this model, making each machine connected to the network simultaneous client-server that not only consume network resources shall also provide the thus named node on the network. The analyzes carried out and described in this article are intended to record and drill through study and literature the emergence and evolution of this model, architectures available, used topologies and applications known that P2P (peer-to-peer).
