P2P
Direct node networking
P2P stands for peer-to-peer, a model where participants interact directly rather than through a central authority.
P2P file sharing revolutionized how people distribute music and software.
P2P payment apps like Venmo let users send money directly to each other.
The architecture underlies cryptocurrencies and decentralized networks. (Lowercase p2p is the same term.)
