P2P (Peer-to-Peer Communications) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. P2P is an acronym that refers to peer-to-peer communications as made popular by user-to-user file-sharing systems such as Napster. Traditionally, peer to peer referred to network connections in which either system involved in the connection could be a client or a server. More recently, acronyms such as P2P and B2B (business to business) have become popular as electronic commerce and Web technologies have expanded. See "Peer-to-Peer Communications."
