Abstract

This document serves as a comprehensive template for preparing papers on P2P (Peer-to-Peer) file sharing. It provides a structured framework for formatting, ensuring that all components of the paper, such as the title, text, headers, and references, adhere to established standards. The template is designed to streamline the creation of professional, well-organized documents related to P2P technologies. Authors are advised to follow the prescribed formatting for consistency and clarity. CRITICAL: Avoid using symbols, special characters, footnotes, or mathematical expressions in the paper’s title or abstract.

Introduction

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing is a widely used, efficient method for distributing data over the internet by allowing users to share files directly without relying on centralized servers. The paper discusses different P2P architectures—centralized, decentralized, and hybrid—and popular protocols like BitTorrent, Gnutella, and eDonkey/Overnet, highlighting their mechanisms and strengths. Despite its benefits in media distribution and collaborative environments, P2P sharing faces challenges such as malware distribution, privacy breaches, impersonation attacks, and scalability issues caused by network congestion and data redundancy. Looking ahead, emerging technologies like blockchain, AI-driven search, and enhanced encryption are expected to improve P2P security, efficiency, and user privacy, addressing current limitations and enhancing the overall system.

Conclusion

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing has emerged as one of the most efficient and widely used methods for distributing data over the internet. Unlike traditional client-server models, P2P networks enable users to share files directly with one another, creating decentralized networks where each participant both provides and receives data. This paper explores the key principles, technologies, and challenges associated with P2P file sharing, focusing on its evolution, protocols, and applications.
