Advantages of Peer-to-peer networking over Client –Server
networking are:-
It is easy to install and so is the
configuration of computers on this network,
2) all the resources and contents are shared by all the peers, unlike server-client architecture where Server shares all the contents and resources.
3) P2P is more reliable as central dependency is eliminated. Failure of one peer doesn't affect the functioning of other peers. In case of Client –Server network, if server goes down whole network gets affected.
4) There is no need for full-time System Administrator. Every user is the administrator of his machine. User can control their shared resources.
5) The over-all cost of building and maintaining this type of network is comparatively very less.

Disadvantages (drawbacks) of Peer to peer architecture over Client Server are:-
1) In this network, the whole system
is decentralized thus it is difficult to administer.
That is one person cannot determine the whole
accessibility setting of whole network.
2) Security in this system is very less viruses, spywares,Trojans, etc malwares can easily transmitted over this P-2-P architecture.
3) Data recovery or backup is very difficult. Each computer should have its own back-up system
4) Lot of movies, music and other copyrighted files are transferred using this type of file transfer. P2P is the technology used in torrents.
Peer to peer networks are good to connect small number (around 10) of computer and places where high level of security is not required. In case of business network where sensitive data can be present this type of architecture is not advisable or preferred.
