Without a common protocol, tool suite, or single networking structure to facilitate development, however, harnessing peer-to-peer technology is not a simple task. Most P2P material exists today in a very scattered way, as paper that focus on specific aspects of programming or usage, or partial documentation of existing implementations.The main goal of this book is to collect, summarize, and clearly present the phenomenon of P2P technology in an interesting and entertaining way, while still providing technical information on two levels -- specifics useful for quick setup and use, but also explanations detailed enough for experienced administrators to manage their own systems.
