How do we define 'true p2p'


I have seen a number of questions in which the term 'true p2p' is used. What exactly is meant by this term, if it has an exact meaning? I am familiar with the term p2p, and I can think of several possible meanings for 'true p2p'. What does it mean to you?

What are some examples of:

a) 'true' p2p?

b) 'untrue p2p'


Solution

  • I think that by "true P2P" you mean "pure P2P".

    Pure P2P means totally decentralization. I.e. true P2P doesnt have a central coordinator server.
