P2P: How Peer-to-Peer Technology Is Revolutionizing the Way We Do Business

Targeting "managers, executives, and entrepreneurs," this book argues that P2P is "revolutionary." Although a dubious claim, the author does a good job of separating hype from reality, pulling in case studies and technology details to illustrate issues involved with P2P in a business context. The book covers collaboration and workflow, resource utilization, and supercomputing applications of P2P.

Peer-to-Peer: Building Secure, Scalable, and Manageable Networks

This book focuses on what you as a software developer need to know to actually build a P2P system. Along the way, it explores important technical considerations of P2P including naming/addressing and security on the Internet. The authors focus on collaboration and music and video applications of P2P. They also touch on key considerations for the future of P2P in business.

Peer-to-Peer Computing: Technologies for Sharing and Collaborating on the Net

The newest book in the P2P space focuses on current development efforts and the technologies behind them, in the areas of collaboration, content discovery and delivery, and resource management. It also adds a nice historical perspective in its treatment of the subject. The author positions P2P more realistically than some, as just one of several different useful approaches to network computing.

Peer-to-Peer: Harnessing the Power of Disruptive Technologies

Until recently, peer-to-peer was known merely as a basic technique for networking computers on a LAN. Now peer-to-peer is just as often called "P2P" and refers to everything from Internet file sharing technology to business models for computer networking to clusters and supercomputers. Each of these books describes P2P from a different and interesting angle. See below for the list:

Introduction to Networking and Data Communications

Data Communications is the transfer of data or information between a source and a receiver. The source transmits the data and the receiver receives it. The actual generation of the information is not part of Data Communications nor is the resulting action of the information at the receiver. Data Communication is interested in the transfer of data, the method of transfer and the preservation of the data during the transfer process. In Local Area Networks, we are interested in "connectivity", connecting computers together to share resources. Even though the computers can have different disk operating systems, languages, cabling and locations, they still can communicate to one another and share resources. The purpose of Data Communications is to provide the rules and regulations that allow computers with different disk operating systems, languages, cabling and locations to share resources. The rules and regulations are called protocols and standards in Data Communications.

TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview

The TCP/IP protocol suite has become the de facto standard for computer communications in today's networked world. The ubiquitous implementation of a specific networking standard has led to an incredible dependence on the applications enabled by it. Today, we use the TCP/IP protocols and the Internet not only for entertainment and information, but to conduct our business by performing transactions, buying and selling products, and delivering services to customers. We are continually extending the set of applications that leverage TCP/IP, thereby driving the need for further infrastructural support.

Linux Network Administrators Guide

The Internet is now a household term in many countries. With otherwise serious people beginning to joyride along the Information Superhighway, computer networking seems to be moving toward the status of TV sets and microwave ovens. The Internet has unusually high media coverage, and social science majors are descending on Usenet newsgroups, online virtual reality environments, and the Web to conduct research on the new Internet Culture. Of course, networking has been around for a long time. Connecting computers to form local area networks has been common practice, even at small installations, and so have long-haul links using transmission lines provided by telecommunications companies. A rapidly growing conglomerate of world-wide networks has, however, made joining the global village a perfectly reasonable option for even small non-profit organizations of private computer users. Setting up an Internet host with mail and news capabilities offering dialup and ISDN access has become affordable, and the advent of DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and Cable Modem technologies will doubtlessly continue this trend.

Introduction to Networking Technologies

There are many different computing and networking technologies - some available today, some just now emerging, some well-proven, some quite experimental. Understanding the computing dilemma more completely involves recognizing technologies; especially since a single technology by itself seldom suffices, and instead, multiple technologies are usually necessary. This document describes a sampling of technologies of various types, by using a tutorial approach. It compares the technologies available in the three major technology areas: application support, transport networks, and subnetworking. In addition, the applicability of these technologies within a particular situation is illustrated using a set of typical customer situations.

Using contacts made in business for purposes beyond the reason for the initial contact. For example, a sales representative may ask a customer for names of others who may be interested in his product.
