Lab 2

1. Title: Creating and configuring a simple peer to peer network between two PCs

2. Objectives:

 Implement peer to peer network using packet tracer

 Testing connectivity between different computers present in network

3. Background Theory:

A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a decentralized network where all participants have equal
status. Each participant can act as both a client and a server, sharing resources directly
with others. P2P networks are commonly used for file sharing, distributed computing, and
communication. They offer autonomy, scalability, and resilience, but also pose security
challenges.

5. Output:
6. Discussion:

Use of Peer-to-Peer network is demonstrated in this lab. We use two PCs and connect
between them and assign them IP address and test their connectivity

7. Conclusion:

In this lab we were familiarized with Peer-to-Peer network and it’s working
