T 2.25 Reduction of transmission or execution speed<br />

caused by Peer-to-Peer functions<br />

If one of the operating systems WfW, Windows 95 or Windows NT<br />

constitutes the basis for the user interface in a server-based PC network, single<br />

Peer-to-Peer functions may restrict the transmission bandwidth in the serverbased<br />

network, as the same physical medium is being shared. For example, the<br />

file access from a server will be delayed considerably if large files are being<br />

copied from PC to PC using peer to peer functions.<br />

Within a Peer-to-Peer network a single PC can be configured as Server,<br />

meaning it can act as an application server or as a file server for other<br />

computers. During its work the Peer-to-Peer functions cause an additional<br />

system load, reducing the performance of the computer significantly.<br />
