Disadvantages of peer to peer?

Answer:

Disadvantages of a peer to peer network:

  • the system is not centralised, making administration difficult
  • lack of security
  • no computer in the network is reliable

Therefore, peer-to-peer networks are only useful for a small number of computers (generally about 10), and only suitable for applications that do not require a high level of security (it is not advisable in a business network containing sensitive data).
