What are the different types of peer-to-peer sites?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) sites include peer-to-peer networks that are designed to work differently than other networks. There is no central website in peer-to-peer networks where many get information and products. Each participant rather shares resources and consumes sources from the network created by all participants. Four main types of Peer-to-peer sites have evolved: those dedicated to file sharing; those who are used for bioinformatics; those who were adapted to telecommunications; And those who are lending. BitTorrent, Inc., which owns Kram Cohen, which has developed a popular PEER-PEER BITTORRENT file, has a license to distribute content including movies, music, television and software, including World of Warcraft®. The LionsShare project - participants includes the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Pennsylvania State University and Simon Fraser University - has the purpose of sharing files between educational institutions around the world. His home is on wEb pages Penn State.

There are several very famous PEER-to-peer sites that have been accused of violating copyright and illegal music and downloading films. One of them is Pirate Bay-Sold in July 2009 to Global Gaming Factory after its four founders were convicted of copyright violations in April 2009 and planned to turn into legitimate and legitimate trade in copyright. Another is Kazaa (formerly Kazaa), who was sued for illegal file sharing and paid $ 100 million in restitution to the music recording industry and changed its model to prepaid service. Napster was a file sharing service for MP3 files that ran for two years until the court order closed it in July 2001.

bioinformatics is another use on which the pages of peer-to-tops were placeder. Bioinformatics, which is the use of information technologies for processing a huge amount of information in molecular biology, experimented with the use of the Peer-to-Peer network to operate large programs. Telecommunication use of partner websites is most remarkably performed by Skype, which was known in the first days as "Sky Peer-to-peer" or "Skyper".

Peer-to-peer lending, also called lending persons or social loans, is the name of the lending that occurs among people without the involvement of a financial institution. Peer-to-peer lending can be secured or provided and in some cases are launched from peer-to-peer websites.
