Disclosed are various embodiments involving the use of peer-to-peer teams to accomplish a goal. The specification of a joint goal for a peer-to-peer team is facilitated in a given peer, where the peer-to-peer team includes a plurality of peers. Also, communication is facilitated between respective pairs of the peers via a peer-to-peer network. A team control packet is maintained in each peer to indicate a performance of each peer in the peer-to-peer team. Also, the implementation of a plurality of tasks associated with respective ones of the peers is tracked, where the tasks are implemented in concert to achieve the joint goal.
