<|reference_start|>P2P Networks for Content Sharing: Peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies have been widely used for content sharing, popularly called "file-swapping" networks. This chapter gives a broad overview of content sharing P2P technologies. It starts with the fundamental concept of P2P computing followed by the analysis of network topologies used in peer-to-peer systems. Next, three milestone peer-to-peer technologies: Napster, Gnutella, and Fasttrack are explored in details, and they are finally concluded with the comparison table in the last section.<|reference_end|>
