Swarming (also known as segmented-transfer and multisource-transfer) is a software method that takes advantage of multiple peers (the "swarm") to fulfill a task which may be easily distributed.
An example of this is multiple peers providing redundant access to a file, often resulting in higher throughput and simpler replication.

- What benefits can a swarm provide that a central system could not?
