Best Answer

Users can use software that connects in to a peer-to-peer network to search for shared files on the computers of other users (i.e. peers) connected to the network. Files of interest can then be downloaded directly from other users on the network. Typically, large files are broken down into smaller chunks, which may be obtained from multiple peers and then reassembled by the downloader. This is done while the peer is simultaneously uploading the chunks it already has to other peers.

In a P2P file sharing application do you agree with the statement there is no notion of client and server sides of a communication session and Why?

In P2P file sharing there is no dedicated server to transfer or share files. In file sharing using email you use a client server architecture, meaning every time you send something it goes from your computer to a server and then to the computer you are sending to. In P2P file sharing it simply goes from your computer to the next. P2P is found in file distribution with Bit-Torrent and in file sharing with eMule and LimeWire.
