BASIC CONCEPT	NETWORK ARCHITECTURE	NETWORK TOPOLOGY

NETWORK ARCHITECTURE:
The way network are designed to communicate

PEER TO PEER	CLIENT- SERVER NETWORK
A network which all computers can function as clients or servers as needed,and there's no centralized control over the network resources	Network in which one or more computers act as a server and other computers(clients)on the network request services from the server
ADVANTAGES: -less start up cost to setup the network architecture because no server needed -easy to install and configure for the computers in the network -when a peer fails,it will not effect other peers so the network reliable	ADVANTAGES -Centralized-Resources and data security are controlled through the server -Scalability-adding or removing resources in the network can be easily done by configuring the server -Better management of files-All files are stored in the server -Acessibility_server can be accessed remotely and across multiple platforms including Windows ,Linux,and Mac OS
DISADVANTAGES: -Decentralized- no central repository for files and applications -Less security-does not provide the security available on client /sever network -Every user is taking care is his/her own machine.	DISADVANTAGES -Expense-Requires initial investment of dedicated server -Maintanance-Large networks will require a staff to ensure effecient operation -Dependence-When server goes down,operations will cease across the network
-Difficult to manage the resources in the network	-Easy to manage the resources in the network (server existence facilitate the distribution of the resources)
-Less cabling cost	-higher cabling cost
-software intallation for all computer	-software intallation in the server only
Security control by their own	-security control by server(centralized)
