Content

From Wikipedia:

Decentralization is the process of redistributing or dispersing functions, powers, people or things away from a central location or authority.”

“A distributed system is a software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages.”

“A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture in which individual nodes in the network (called”peers“) act as both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the centralized client–server model where client nodes request access to resources provided by central servers.”

Federation is multiple computing and/or network providers agreeing upon standards of operation in a collective fashion. The term may be used when describing the inter-operation of two distinct, formally disconnected, telecommunications networks that may have different internal structures. The term may also be used when groups attempt to delegate collective authority of development to prevent fragmentation.”
