Question

Peer to Peer computing is not a distributed computing paradigm.
(a) True
(b) False

Answer 1

Peer to Peer computing is not a distributed computing paradigm.

The statement is False. Peer-to-peer computing is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers.

Computers in a distributed system can have different roles.

The two ways of organizing computers in a distributed system are client- server architecture and peer to peer architecture.

Answer 2

The network strategy in which all the nodes can be used as clients and servers is called as the 'Peer to Peer' networks.  

Each node is referred to as a 'peer'. They are responsible for providing services to other peers and using services from other peers.  

This network topology shares resources without the use of a centralized server.

Peer to peer is a distributed computing paradigm that assigns individual tasks for individual peers.

Peer to Peer computing is a distributed computing paradigm.

Hence, the given statement is false.
