Peer-To-Peer Networks

Peer-To-Peer Networks is a Decentralization Network Solution.
In P2P Networks, Every computer is called Peer.
When one peer sends a large file, it is divided into small pieces called Chunks before being sent to another peer.
Once a peer receives a chunk, it simultaneously starts sharing that chunk with other peers.
This sequence of actions resembles the way Gossip spreads, simultaneously propagating the file across the network. This reduces the load on the network and enables faster file transmission.

Probabilistic Information Dissemination: The Gossip Protocol spreads information probabilistically, without relying on a central data source.
Rumor-like Mechanism: This mechanism is similar to the way rumors spread among people, hence the name “Gossip Protocol.”
