Distinguish between Peer-to-Peer and server based networks
Peer-to-peer
Nope. There is no server in peer to peer networks. Only client computers connected to each other.
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.
