A popular network option that I have overlooked is Peer-to-Peer.
P2P is a highly popular and controversial networking option, where users connect to each other, rather than going through a server. The controversy
arises where copyrighted material is shared on the network illegally.
Infact today, P2P is used by the average user to just file share and file swap. Popular file sharing programs inclue Limewire, Kazaa and the variants of the Bit Torrent Client.
