 Title Of The Micro-Project : Create a small network ,install ,configure
various devices and perform two
computer peer to peer service.

• Rationale :

Peer-to-peer network is useful for a small network containing less than 8-10
computers on a single LAN and each computer maintains its own accounts and their security
settings.

• Intended Course Outcomes :

Select network architecture for the given situation with justification.

• Literature Review :

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a decentralized and distributed network

architecture where individual nodes, known as "peers," function as both suppliers and
consumers of resources. In this network, each computer autonomously shares its resources
with others. This setup is particularly beneficial for small networks with fewer than 8-10
computers on a single LAN, where each computer manages its accounts and security settings.

• Proposed Methodology :

a. We have made planning on our project.

b. We research & analyzed.
c. Collected some information & some pictures of unguided media.
d. These collected information is converted into word document & successfully made a
report.

Title Of The Micro-Project : Create a small network , install ,configure

 various devices and perform two computer
peer to peer service.

• Rationale :

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a type of decentralized and distributed network

architecture in which individual nodes in the network (called "peers") act as both suppliers
and consumers of resources. Peer-to-peer network is useful for a small network containing
less than 8-10 computers on a single LAN and each computer maintains its own accounts and
their security settings.

• Course Outcomes :

Select network architecture for the given situation with justification.

• Literature Review :

Fig . Peer – to – Peer Network

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks represent a decentralized approach to resource sharing, where
individual computers, or "peers," interact directly without the need for a central server. This
network architecture has garnered significant attention due to its simplicity and effectiveness,
particularly in small-scale environments. In such setups, typically comprising fewer than 8-10
computers within a single local area network (LAN), each computer independently manages
its accounts and security settings, fostering user autonomy and flexibility. The decentralized
nature of P2P networks eliminates the dependency on a central server, resulting in faster and
more reliable communication between peers. This characteristic promotes efficient resource
sharing and collaboration among connected devices, making P2P networks an attractive
solution for various applications, including file sharing, distributed computing, and content

7
delivery. While traditionally considered most suitable for smaller networks, ongoing
advancements in technology continue to enhance the scalability and adaptability of P2P
architectures. These improvements pave the way for broader adoption and utilization of P2P
networks across diverse computing environments, underscoring their significance in the field
of networked systems.
Creating a peer-to-peer (P2P) network entails the establishment of a decentralized
system wherein individual computers share resources directly, bypassing the need for a
central server. This process involves connecting computers to the same local area network
(LAN) or wide area network (WAN), installing P2P software on each computer, sharing files
or resources on one computer, and accessing those shared files from another. P2P networks
operate on the principle of peer-to-peer communication, allowing each computer (or peer) to
interact directly with others on the network without intermediaries.
One of the fundamental features of P2P networks is decentralization, which means there is no
central authority or server controlling the network. Instead, peers communicate and share
resources directly with one another. This decentralized structure promotes resilience and
eliminates single points of failure, making P2P networks robust and reliable.
Resource sharing is another crucial aspect of P2P networks. Peers share various resources
such as files, data, and services with one another. This facilitates collaborative work and
enables efficient distribution of content across the network.
Autonomous operation characterizes each peer in a P2P network. Each peer manages its
resources independently, making decisions based on its own requirements and capabilities.
This autonomy contributes to the scalability of P2P networks, as they can adapt dynamically
to changes in network size and topology.
Users in P2P networks also enjoy autonomy and control over their accounts and security
settings. They can decide which resources to share and with whom, enhancing privacy and
security. Despite these advantages, P2P networks are typically more suitable for smaller
networks with fewer than 8-10 computers due to scalability limitations.

• Advantages OF Peer – To – Peer Network : -

 Easy to maintain : The network is easy to maintain because each node is
independent of the other.
 Less costly : Since each node acts as a server, therefore the cost of the central server
is saved. Thus, there is no need to buy an expensive server.
 No network manager : In a P2P network since each node manages his or her own
computer, thus there is no need for a network manager.
 Adding nodes is easy : Adding, deleting, and repairing nodes in this network is
easy.
 Less network traffic : In a P2P network, there is less network traffic than in a
client/ server network

• Disadvantages OF Peer – To – Peer Network : -

8
  Data is vulnerable: Because of no central server, data is always vulnerable to
getting lost because of no backup.
 Less secure: It becomes difficult to secure the complete network because each
node is independent.
 Slow performance: In a P2P network, each computer is accessed by other
computers in the network which slows down the performance of the user.
 Files hard to locate: In a P2P network, the files are not centrally stored, rather they
are stored on individual computers which makes it difficult to locate the files .
