P2P Network Implementation for Enhanced Resource Sharing and Connectivity in NEMSU Tagbina Campus: Issues and Challenges
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks provide a decentralized method of resource sharing and connectivity that could solve the issues of conventional client-server models in the academic environment. Peer-to-peer can also exchange other resources such as files, storage capacity, processing power and bandwidth. This research investigates issues, challenges, and advantages of having a P2P network at NEMSU Tagbina Campus with emphasis on enhanced file sharing, decreased infrastructure expenses, and improved collaboration between students and instructors. Using a qualitative research design, data were gathered by interviewing 20 stakeholders, such as the students, IT staff, and administrators. The results of this study identify that although P2P networks can minimize dependence on central servers and enhance scalability, problems and challenges are security issues, user adoption hurdles, and technical configuration complexity. This research outlines a plan of adoption for P2P stressing the importance of training, policy, and hybrid infrastructure integration.
