NETWORK ARCHITECTURE IS THE WAY NETWORK IS THE WAY NETWORK ARE DESIGN TO COMMUNICATE.
peer-to-peer network
A network model in which all computers can function as clients or servers as needed, and there's no centralized contol over network resources
ADVANTAGES OF PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
1) Less startup cost to setup the network architecture-No need for a server.
2)Easy to install and configure for the computers in the network
3)When a peer falls it will not affect other peers so the network is reliable.
DISADVANTAGES OF PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK
1)Every user is taking care is his/her own machine
2)Less Security- Does not provide the security available on a client /server network.
Decentralized- No central repository for lies and application
CLIENT-SERVER NETWORK
Network in which one or more computers act as a server, and the other computer (clients) on the network request services from the server
1) Less startup cost to setup the network architecture-No need for a server.
2)Easy to install and configure for the computers in the network
3)When a peer falls it will not affect other peers so the network is reliable.

CLIENT-SERVER NETWORK
Network in which one or more computers act as a server, and the other computer (clients) on the network request services from the server
ADVANTAGES OF CLIENT-SERVER NETWORK
1)Centralized - Resources and data security are controlled through the server.
2)Scalability - adding or removing resources in the network can be easily done by configuring server
3)Better management of files - All files are stored in the server.
DISADVANTAGES OF CLIENT-SERVER NETWORK
1)Expense - Requires initial investment in dedicated server
2)Maintainenance - Large networks will require a staff to ensure efficientcy operation
3)Dependence - When server goes down, operstions will cease across the network
