NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

                                   
                     WHAT IS NETWORK ARCHITECTURE ?!?!

👤 Network architecture is the configuration of computers, devices and media on a network. 


        💚 CATEGORIES OF NETWORK ARCHITECTURE💚

👀 PEER TO PEER NETWORK

             👶  A simple , inexpensive network that typically connects fewer than 10 computers. Each                          computer called a peer that has equal responsibilities and capabilities. 
             👶  Each computer stores files on its own storage devices
             👶  Peer to peeer networks are ideal for very small business and home users.
             👶 Some operating system, such as windows include a peer to peer networking utility that                         allows users to set up a peer to peer network.
             👶 Each node is a computer on the network which acts and communicates with other peers to                   make a portion of their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network                             bandwidth.

👀  CLIENT/SERVER NETWORK
                 

             👶  One or more computers act as a server, and  the other computers on the network request                        services from the server.
            👶 Server called as a host computer controls access to the hardware, software and the other                      resources on the network and provide a centralized storage area for programs,data and                          information.
            👶 The clients are other computers and mobile devices on the network that rely on the server                    for its resources.
            👶 Client/server architecture works when the client computer sends a resources or process                        request to the server over the network connection,which is then processed and delivered o                    the client.


   💀Differences between client/server and peer-to-peer network💀

CATEGORY	CLIENT/SERVER	PEER TO PEER
Definition	One or more computers act as a server, and the other computers on the network request services from the server.	Each computer,called a peer has equal responsibilities and capabilities, sharing hardware,data or information with other computers on the peer-to-peer network.
Size	For medium and network.	For small network fewer than 10 computers.
Operating system	Needs a specific operating system suc as Windows Server 2008.	Does not need a specific operating system.
Training	Needs training	Does not need training.
Set up	More difficult to set up	Easy to set up.
Installation	More expensive to install	Less expensive to install.
Impementation	Big corporations or organizations with high security data.	Small business and home users.
