There several merits of a server based network and peer to peer. Some of them include being cheap to set up and maintain, it is very fast and does not require a network administrator among others.Ê
What is server based networking?
Distinguish between Peer-to-Peer and server based networks
The file server. It's essentially a large-capacity computer (with lots of RAM and a huge hard-drive) - that shares the programs and memory (resources) with each terminal connected to the network.
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.

Modularization created in form of Layers in OSI and TCP/IP models in modern computer networking enables development of Applications at different layers.This further opens the world of development based on Applications, Protocols, Networks andPhysical channels.
A lan that is directly or indirectly controlled by a SERVER. In a server based lan, most workstations have to log into the server to gain access to the network.
A server-based LAN is a Local Area Network (LAN) which is being controlled by a Server.

Distinguish between Peer-to-Peer and server based networks
With a peer to peer network, in order to access computers resources, all systems must be turned on and running. If one system goes down so does the entire connection. Where as with a server based network the connection will be up and running all the time regardless of how many computers are on. A server based network may prove more conventional for a larger network and may prove more reliable.
