Developing Peer-to-Peer Applications with WCF

In this chapter, we will dive into the concepts of peer-to-peer computing (also known as P2P). We will cover what P2P means, the advantages that it brings you, and the challenges that you'll face when working with P2P. We will also cover what a typical development environment looks like when writing P2P applications. We will explore some of the options provided by Microsoft in enabling P2P, both in the context of WCF and in Windows in general.
