Peer-to-peer networks allow computers to share files and resources directly with each other without needing to go through a central server. In a peer-to-peer network, if one computer fails it does not disrupt the whole system. However, peer-to-peer networks provide less security and organization than client-server networks. Client-server networks use a central server computer to store and organize files, providing more security but creating single points of failure and potential bottlenecks if overburdened. Both network types have advantages and disadvantages related to decentralization, security, performance and maintenance.

2. WHAT IS PEER-TO-PEER
NETWORK?
it is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or
workloads between peers. It is a group of computers, each of which
acts as a node for sharing files within the group.

3. it is created when two or more PCs are
connected and share resources
without going through a separate
server computer.
WHAT'S THE
PURPOSE OF THE
P2P NETWORK?

4. The failure of one computer won’t disrupt
the rest of the system.
Peer to peer networks don’t require a
network operating system.
You get to avoid the expense of having and
maintaining a server.
This system doesn’t require advanced
knowledge to be useful.
It reduces the need to have technical staff
available.

DISADVANTAGES
OF P2P
NETWORK
The files or resources are not centrally
organized with a P2P network.
P2P networks often have very little security.
Virus introduction risks rise with a peer to
peer network.
There is no way to back up files or folders
centrally.
P2P networks often suffer from
performance issues.

6. WHAT IS CLIENT-
SERVER NETWORK?
it is a communications model in which multiple client programs share
the services of a common server program. A form of internet network
that consists of a single central computer functioning as a server and
directing several other computers, referred to as clients.

7. Clients can access shared files and
information kept on the serving
machine by connecting to the server.
It can help them connect using a
shared database.

PURPOSE OF THE
CLIENT-SERVER
NETWORK?

8. 5 ADVANTAGES
OF CLIENT-
SERVER
NETWORK
Centralization: All the necessary
information are placed in a single location.
Security: The data is well protected due to
its centralized architecture
A client-server network may be expanded
by adding network segments, servers, and
PCs with little downtime.
The client-server system's nodes are all
self-contained, requesting data only from
the server, allowing for simple upgrades,
replacements, and relocation.
It is really simple to handle files because
they are all kept on the same server.

DISADVANTAGES
OF CLIENT-
SERVER
NETWORK
Traffic Congestion: If too many clients make
request from the same server, it will result in
crashes or slowing down of the connection.
The cost of setting up and maintaining the
server is typically higher than the cost of
running the network.
Robustness: The whole network will be
interrupted, if the primary server experiences
failure or interference.
Maintenance: When the servers are
implemented, it is going to work non-stop.
Not all the resources that is present on the
server is acquirable.
