OpenVMS
Almost all modern day operating systems support peer to peer networking, and are usually the standard network protocol after a new installation.
Clustering is when two or more servers are linked together with the Network Load Balancing protocol (in Windows) to allow for faster response time and reliability. This way, if one server goes down, another can pick up the slack without any interuption in network performance - in theory anyway! :-)The word clustering means alot of numbers (:
In the legal sense, no. Unix is an operating system and has the components of an NOS (Network Operating System) but it not considered just a network operating system.

basic functions of a network operating system?
Yes, a multiuser operating system is also described as a network operating system.
No network requires a Network Operating System (NOS) . They just require network interface hardware and software to use the network to communicate with each other. However, since all modern operating systems also claim to be Network Operating Systems, it doesn't matter. Client or Server Network
The demands of a network operating system are to be able to share resources, and ensure network security.
NetWare is a command-line operating system developed by Novell, Inc and designed to run in the server of a local area network, or LAN. NetWare supports Windows, Macintosh, DOS, and OS/2 clients.
UNIX, Microsoft Windows, and Linux ARE network operating systems.
client/server network
operating system security concerns about vulnerabilities on specific operating system network system security concerns about vulnerabilities of the entire network regrdless how diverse or complex the network is.
