The technology that facilitates peer-to-peer networking without central control is known as decentralized networks. In such networks, each participant, or node, acts as both a client and a server, sharing resources and information directly with others. This structure enhances resilience and eliminates single points of failure found in traditional client-server models. Peer-to-peer technologies are widely used in applications like file sharing and cryptocurrencies, allowing for efficient data distribution and collaboration among users.
