Network Architecture
The design of computers, devices, and media in a network. And is also categorized as either client/server or peer-to-peer
Client/Server Network
One or more computers act as a server
Server
Controls access to the hardware, software, an other resources on the network, and provides centralized storage area for programs, data, and information
Clients
Other computers and mobile devices on the network that rely on the server for its resources
Dedicated Servers
Perform a specific task and can be placed with same other kind of server to perform multiple tasks
File server, Print server, Database server, Network server, Web server
What are the examples of dedicated servers?
Peer-to-Peer Network
It is a simple, inexpensive network that typically connects fewer than 10 computers
Peer-to-Peer Network
This type of network is ideal for every small businesses and home users
Internet Peer-to-Peer
also called as P2P
Internet Peer-to-Peer
It describes an internet network on which users access each other's hard disks and exchange files directly
File Sharing Network
Peer-to-peer network is sometimes
Network Topology
It refers to the layout of the computers and devices in a communications network
Star Network
