P2P

P2P is a widely extended trend in personal computers. Integration of Mobile P2P and the Internet is a key point for the final user. This section deals with P2P mobile technologies and how mature they are.

What is it understood as "P2P support" ?

P2P on mobile devices is not only file transfers. P2P should be considered as a business tool which allows:

• Real-time communications
• Colaborative tools
• Load balancing
• File transfer
• Common docs edition

A standard P2P sharing environment has no sense in the context of mobile platforms due to the limited capabilities of bandwidth of battery. It will be more practical tools to support communications between enterprise devices with push technology. The usual way to implement a Push environment is making a long time TCP connection. The client opens a TCP connection with server and keep it opened. Over this connection the server will send a notification to the client when something happen. IMAP and XMPP are standards protocol for mail and instant messaging respectively, but it exists many proprietary protocols to do the same.

Just cause it's simlpe doesn't mean it's not super helpful.
