Sharing of ideas: ideas can be shared on the network as and when required to solve a problem among the users.
Quick message broadcasting: Messages are broadcast very quickly to all the users connected with network.
Confirmation of request: when a user passes a request on network he/she gets a suitable message on his/her node whether it is delivered successfully. If the request passes successfully to its destination then the network responds to the request, otherwise it gives a suitable message to the requester (user) to request again.
