What is a Network?

Peer to Peer Networks


A peer to peer network provides a simple way to connect ten or less computers. Peer to Peer networks require each individual to stroe theri own files on their own computer. Anyone on this type of network can access files stored on any other computer.The user of the computer can allow total access or can restrict the access of others. Files which are stored on the computers in the newtwork must be manged and backed up by the user of the computer, not the network manager.
