I would be curious to see what your definitions of "client" and "server"
are. Have you ever connected from one computer to another? Any time you do
so, one computer acts as the client and the other as the server.
"Peer-to-peer" simply means that both systems (or all systems) act as both
client and server depending on which way the data is flowing at any given
moment.

I would suggest you focus your search on understanding these terms as
applied in the larger world.
