This document provides information about peer-to-peer and client/server networks. A peer-to-peer network connects devices directly without additional networking devices between them. The devices have equivalent capabilities and responsibilities, and there is no central control. This allows users to share files with others on the network. A client/server network has a server that provides information and services to client machines. All data is stored centrally on a file server, and access is controlled by usernames and passwords. The document instructs students to research and present on the advantages and disadvantages of each type of network. It provides rubrics to evaluate their research and oral presentation skills.

1. Peer-to-Peer Network
Prepared by:
EILLEN IVY A. PORTUGUEZ

2. Peer-to-Peer Network
 Devices are connected directly to each other without any additional
networking devices between them.
 Devices has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities.
 Network has no central point of control or administration
 Allows certain files to be shared with everyone or selected users.
 Common in small offices that do not use a dedicated file server.

3. Example of Peer-to-Peer Network

4. Client/Server Network
 The server provides the requested information or service
to the client.
 Servers commonly perform some of the processing work
for client machines.
 Servers maintained by network administrator.
 All the data on the network is stored on a centralized file
server.

5. Client/Server Network
 Shared printers on the network are managed by a
centralized print server.
 Network users with the proper permissions can access
both the data and shared printers.
 Each user must provide an authorized username and
password to gain access to network resources that he or
she is permitted to use.

6. Example of Client/Server Network

7. • Implemented the data
backups and security
measures of the
network
• Controls the users
access to the network
resources.

10. Peer-to-Peer Study
Directions: Have a partner. Using different reference available
such as articles, books, internet and publications,
investigate and search for the advantages and
disadvantages of Peer-to-peer and Client/Server
network. You will present your readings in front of
the class and you will be rated according to the
rubrics for research and rubrics for oral
presentation.
