There is an increasing interest in using peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures as a basis for software systems. However, by their very nature, achieving dependability within a P2P system can be difficult. This paper provides an initial analysis of the main issues that need to be considered when developing a dependable P2P system. It examines the key properties that can influence the dependability of a P2P system, and discusses the relationship between system dependability and the choice of logical network architecture.
