can have any amount of hosts
Distinguish between Peer-to-Peer and server based networks
Nope. There is no server in peer to peer networks. Only client computers connected to each other.
Peer-to-peer
Peer to Peer networking has no central "hub" to store the data to be downloaded. When a Client needs information, they connect to other clients on a network to download that information. An example of Peer-to-Peer networking is BitTorrent. Client-Server Networks use a central computer as a hub to store information. So when a client needs to access information, they need to access the Server for that data. An example of a Client-Server Network is any website.
client server n peer to peer
a special 1!
In a peer to peer network, all nodes are the same. In a client-server network, conversely, the server node maintains control over other nodes.
A peer-to-peer network is not required for have a server at all. Therefore, any peer-to-peer network could be formed without a server.
decentralized resources resource sharing without a dedicated server
That is false. Domain models are server-based networks while workgroups are peer-to-peer networks.
Both use the same medium to send and recieve information.
d.)The expense of a server is difficult to justify for most home networks.
