"…an interesting little book for many reasons…the quiet, matter-of-fact approach, and the limited technical jargon, make this book very accessible to all." (Computing Reviews, August 19, 2004) "…encourages us to see P2P networks as a useful direction in the evolution of network applications.” (IEEE Network, September 2004)
The book examines the different legitimate applications used over a peer-to-peer network (p2p)The material examines the design and development of novel applications designed to leverage the distributed nature of peer-to-peer environmentsGoes beyond the most popular application of file-sharing (including sharing of video and audio files) and discusses the many different applicationsCompares traditional and peer-to-peer infrastructure and discusses merits and demerits of each approach from a business perspective
