The document discusses different types of computer networks. It defines peer-to-peer (P2P) networks as distributed networks where peers share resources and responsibilities directly with each other, without intermediary servers. It also defines client-server networks as centralized networks where a powerful server stores resources and provides them to less powerful client computers on request. Examples of each network type are given to illustrate the differences between P2P and client-server architectures.

■ Client-Server Network

11. What is P2P (Peer-to-Peer) Network?
■ Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture
that partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged,
equipotent participants in the application.They are said to form a peer-to-peer
network of nodes.

14. What is a Client-Server Network?
■ A computer network in which one centralized, powerful computer (called the server) is
a hub to which many less powerful personal computers or workstations (called clients)
are connected.The clients run programs and access data that are stored on the server.
