What is p2p and how skype works ?
#3
P2P is a protocol transfer as mark said is used in torrent, emule... and most of sharing programs. It consits in that :

EXAMPLE:
We have "X" file with 5 parts we supose. You haven't any parts and you're using torrent. Mark have 2/5 (you haven't it) and i have the 5/5 parts (you haven't it too). Mark haven't 3/5 parts. Mark's torrent client will ask to my client for download the incomplete parts who he have. At the same time he can share the parts who he have with you and i can share too my parts. Finally all we have the "X" file and all will be happy Smile

In this case I'm the seeder(I'm sharing only) and Mark and you are leechers(you're downloading and sharing).

ABOUT SKYPE

It works using the VOip protocol(voice IP(internet protocol)). It consists in sending compressed audio from your computer and IP to the others clients without SERVER. The best of skype isn't only the pretty interface, skype compression is very efficient.

I hope you like my explanation and my example Big Grin
