Peer-to-peer is a type of network design where all devices support roughly equivalent capabilities.

Peer-to-peer networking (also known simply as peer networking) is in contrast to client/server networking, where certain devices have responsibility for providing or

"serving" network information and other devices consume or

otherwise act as "clients" of those servers.

Peer to peer is a simple network of two or more computers. Two computers can be connected directly too each other via the network cards using what is known as a cross over cable or to allow more than two computers to comunicate with each another, a device called a switch is required. All the computers in the simple network need to be connected to the switch via a network cable. The computers also have to be members of the same workgroup and have IP addresses within the same net and sub net range. In order to see folders and files on other computers, shares have to be created.

Peer to peer is when 2 computers are connected directly together or as close to together as possible without going through a website. One typical type of peer to peer application is file-sharing software.
