Hi all,

I wants to implement Peer to Peer networking in C language. I know how to implement client/server in C programming but do not know how to go for Peer to Peer programming. Any help?

Thanks all in advance!

It really depends on what you mean by peer-to-peer. P2P isn't so much a protocol as a concept. Generally several machines act as both client and server and share the load that would normally be relegated to a single server, so from a programming prospective, the implementation is the same; each machine is both a client and a server.

Peer-to-peer, it means that 2 peers connect directly insteading both connect to a server peer as client peers. client/server, for a single client, is peer-to-peer, too.
