peer-to-peer communications

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Financial, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
peer-to-peer communications
Communications in which both sides have equal responsibility for initiating, maintaining and terminating the session. Contrast with "master-slave communications," in which the host determines which users can initiate which sessions. If the host were programmed to allow all users to initiate all sessions, it would look like a peer-to-peer system to the user. See peer-to-peer network and grid computing.
