I am doing a research on peer-to-peer systems and I can't have a clear answer or wether peer to peer is an actual architecture or just a design patter of a system. If its just a pattern what would be a good architecture to implement peer-to-peer pattern to build a disturbed system?



Thanks

          It is absolutely an architecture. "Architecture" has dozens of definitions, but most people would agree that the components and how they coordinate to accomplish particular systems tasks falls squarely into "Architecture".
