Jotkin verkkotöiden (kutenNapster, OpenNAP tai IRC@find) toiminnot (kuten haku) käyttävät asiakaspalvelinrakennetta,jaP2P-rakennetta muiden toimintojen toteuttamiseen.Verkot, kuten Gnutella taiFreenetuseapureP2P-rakenne, suorittaa tiettyjä tehtäviä.

Sovellukset
Point-to-point-teknologiassa on monia sovelluksia.Se on hyvin yleistä jakaa tiedostoja, jotka sisältävät erilaisia ääni-, video-, datamuotoja jne. Reaaliaikaista dataa (kuten IP-puhelinviestintä, kaikki keskusteluäänet ja videot) voidaan lähettää myös P2P-tekniikan avulla.
