Nodes act as both client and server, no central coordinator — used in file-sharing, blockchain, some real-time systems.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Removes the need for central infrastructure by having nodes serve each other directly — resilient to any single node failing.

When to use this

File-sharing, blockchain, some real-time collaboration tools — rarely fits a standard client-server marketplace app.

How to use or implement this

Background knowledge rather than an implementation choice for Localz.
