Best Answer

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.

Peer to peer does not have a centralized server dedicated to provide resources.

Server based networks (centralized) use one or more server to provide resources to the rest of the network.
