BROAD NETWORK CATEGORIES
There are two broad network categories:-
1. Peer-to-Peer Networks
2. Client-Server Networks
1.Peer-to-Peer Networks:- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks involve two or more computers pooling individual resources such as disk drives.each computer acts as both the client and the server.There computers can directly communicate with the other computers. On a peer-to-peer network, for example, a scanner on one computer can be used by any other computer on the network.
Peer-to-peer networks are cheap to set up.its connection type can be by using Ethernet cable or a Wi-Fi router.
2.Client-Server Networks:- this involves multiple client servers which are connected to at least central server on a network where, applications are installed.
Clients needs a access to those server resources, they can access them only from server.Servers often have private user directories for special users(Example, Windows has work folders special users).Client-Server networks tend to have faster access speeds because of the large number of clients they are designed to support.
The clients are also allowed to function as workstations without sharing any resources network.It is easier to upgrade software applications and files because it held on a single Server computer.System-wide services can be provided through the server software.
Security is assured in this model of network, as the server controls access and the permission to the resources.
Difference between Peer-to-Peer(P2P) & Client-Server Networks:-
