kaal:claim:3808859-010

A peer-to-peer computing architecture is more efficient than client-server because client-server carries linearly increasing per-unit costs while peer-to-peer costs fall with each added node, which also leaves the traditional architecture more exposed to competition.

Source quote, verbatim

The traditional client-server architecture is subject to the linearly increasing per-unit costs whereas with a peer-to-peer network, cost decreasse with each added node.
