Skype originally operated on a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture, allowing users to connect directly with one another for voice and video calls. However, over time, Microsoft transitioned Skype to a more client-server model, particularly for certain features like group calls and messaging, which are now managed through centralized servers for improved reliability and scalability. Thus, Skype incorporates elements of both architectures, but it primarily relies on client-server technology in its current form.

What are the difference between peer to peer networks ans client server?
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.
