Peer-to-peer

       A peer-to-peer network is any network which doesn't use a server. 

       Usually from 2 to 5 computer, otherwise the network will become too slow to use without a central server.

       They are self-installed most commonly for domestic use, to share files and peripherals such as printers, however some small business use them as they are much cheaper than client-server networks.

        The most popular way of setuping up a peer-to-peer network is to have a few computer connected through a hub (a non-intelligent switch)
