 | | Peer projects are often part of larger programs that have added a youth-to-youth outreach component. | | | In a comparison of the two, the peer outreach program the Community Youth Program was able to reach young adults at one-third the cost per active contraceptive user of the Integrated Youth Centers. | | | A major study of 21 AIDSCAP projects found that 95% of peer educators had made changes in their own life and behavior, 31 percent were practicing safer sex and/or were using condoms, 20 percent had reduced their number of sexual partners, and 19 percent had changed their own attitudes. |

| | Intel Forms Peer-To-Peer Working Group |
| | Peer-to-peer computing is a set of technologies that enable the direct exchange of services or data between computers. | | | In such a business computing environment, servers, desktops and notebook PCs in a network become peers that contribute all or part of their resources - such as processing power or storage - to the enterprise. | | | As the workload for servers in corporations continues to grow, peer-to-peer computing can also be used to offload common server tasks such as file serving or virus protection to other peers on a network, allowing servers to focus on other tasks such as handling business transactions. |

| | Windows Peer-to-Peer Networking: The Cable Guy - November 2003 |
| | A peer name is an endpoint for communication, which can be a computer, a user, a group, a service, or anything else that you want to resolve to an IPv6 address, protocol, and port number. | | | A peer graph, or graph, is a set of nodes that are multiply connected to form a coupled network of nodes for the purposes of propagating data in the form of records or point-to-point data streams. | | | Peer C sends a response back to Peer A. Because 450 is the next numerically closer PNRP ID to 800, Peer A sends a PNRP Request message to the node that registered the PNRP ID of 450 (Peer B). |

| | Peer pressure, television, Hollywood, parenting, video games, and the education establishment have all been blamed at one time or another for influencing -- or failing to influence -- children's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors across a wide spectrum of issues from classroom cheating to drug abuse and school violence. | | | The intense power of the peer group is used to help students develop socially positive attitudes and a mature outlook toward school. | | | Positive Peer Groups supplant the role of groups such as gangs by giving students the social guidance and direct opportunities they need to grow as contributing members of society. |

| | Typically, a host computer on the network will run the software that acts as a node, and it will connect to other hosts running that same software to form a large distributed network of peer nodes. | | | Freenet uses a kind of key based routing similar to a distributed hash table to locate peers' data. | | | Freenet works by pooling the contributed bandwidth and storage space of member computers to allow users to anonymously publish or retrieve various kinds of information. |

| | CBTC Peer Group 3 |
| | Tom McGean advised that the Peer Group’s support of the proposal to develop a standard performance/functional specification for CBTC systems would be reported to the IEEE standards committee at their meeting in Washington on October 8, 1997. | | | The Peer Group commented that while developing a standard functional/performance specification is practical, the effort required to reach consensus on the many operational issues should not be under estimated. | | | To build on the momentum established by the working group to date, it has been proposed that the group proceed with a revised mandate, focusing its attention less on the specific technical details of the train-to-wayside interfaces, and more on the overall performance and functional requirements/expectations for CBTC systems. |

| | OpenP2P.com -- How the Peer-to-Peer Working Group Ought to Be Organized |
| | Yesterday, at the first meeting of their proposed Peer-to-Peer working group (attended by over 300 people) Intel proposed an organization for the group that was shocking in its distrust of the very decentralization that peer-to-peer is supposed to enable. | | | The IETF, which is a fully participatory organization that should be used as a model for the P2Pwg, has a steering committee, working group chairs, and all the kinds of structures that Intel says are needed to ensure that discussions are driven forward rather than devolving into anarchy. | | | Because we can't wait till then to take the next step, the process of deciding on technical committees will have to be done on a mailing list. |

| | Peer-to-peer - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Peer-to-peer |
| | A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies on computing power at the edges (ends) of a connection rather than in the network itself. | | | However, almost any network will fail when the majority of the peers are trying to damage it, and many protocols may be rendered impotent by far fewer numbers. | | | Gnutella quickly adopted this model, and most current peer to peer networks follow this model, as it allows for large and efficient networks without central servers. |

| | Peer review, in scientific journals, assumes that the article reviewed has been honestly written, and the process is not designed to detect fraud. | | | Peer review subjects an author's work or ideas to the scrutiny of one or more others who are experts in the field. | | | Peer review has been a touchstone of modern scientific method apparently only since in the middle of the twentieth century. |

| | Scalability: A scalability issue arises when the number of receivers in a group becomes large, for example, a thousand, because the receivers are supposed to forward packets to all their peers in the above scenario. | | | It reduces resource usage for computing paths in the station, and it makes the computing load shared in the peers. | | | At the same time, the station chooses one of the receivers, which are located at each exit, for each packet and forwards the packet to not all of them but to only the chosen one. |
