P2p vs Client-Server Architecture: Performance

We see

from Figure 2.23 that for the client-server architecture, the distribution time increases linearly and

without bound as the number of peers increases. However, for the P2P architecture, the minimal

distribution time is not only always less than the distribution time of the client-server architecture; it is

also less than one hour for any number of peers N. Thus, applications with the P2P architecture can be

self-scaling. This scalability is a direct consequence of peers being redistributors as well as consumers

of bits.
