we used cross over cable ,coz cross over cable has two ends one end for tranmitting data and one end for receiving data ,thats why cross over used in peer to peer data connection.
this is because straight cables are easiest to find everywhere, be it labs or anywhere else since straight cables are used for networking in practicality.
To establish a peer-to-peer network connection between two lans, both pc must have network hardware. One multi-port sharing device like a hub is needed to support the computers. use a crossover cable if two computers are the only available unit.
Only two computers, can be connected to a crossover cable, although three can be supported as well, if one has two or more Network Cards (NIC Cards) installed in one workstation. this kind of Network is Known as Peer-to-Peer.
Peer to Peer network (Microsoft calls it a Workgroup). Does not require cable for connection, can be wireless. Is appropriate for up to 10 computers. Each computer in a Peer to Peer network keeps its own security access database. That means, each connection to the computer must have an account on that computer.
Without any costly netwoking device like hub and switch we can share the data or access from one PC to another PC by using Peer to Peer file sharing. For peer to peer connection we should use crossover network cable only.

First you need a crossover Ethernet cable which connects Transmit lines to Receive and Receive lines to Transmit on a 10/100BaseT connection. Both computers need to have Ethernet IP address set in same range (e.g. 10.0.0.x) and same Subnet Mask and Gateway. e.g. IP address can be 10.0.0.5 on one machine and on other it can be 10.0.0.7 .. After that both computers connected to each other through a cross cable can see each other and transfer/share data.
the connection between PC to PC ia called peer to peer connection the connection requires a cable called "cross cable" ..! or "peer to peer cable" and some settings using command prompt..! Rajesh Rathod Dept of ECE IIT Delhi ..!
@ computers to computer connected together via a crossover cable. No hub, switch, domain or central server.
peer-to-peer connection
Computer networking allows 2 or more computers to share information. The two computers are either linked to each other directly through a crossover network cable (peer-to-peer network), or through one or more intermediate hubs, switches and/or routers. Wireless routers allow 2 or more computers to network without being physically wired to the network.
Overlay Network is a logical network that runs on top of another network. No, it does not include routers. If peer X maintains a TCP connection with another peer Y, then we say there is an edge between X and Y. An edge in overlay is simply the tcp connection between a peer.
