- Client-server and Peer-to-peer networks
- Client server networks
- A client-server is managed by a server
- The devices connected to the server are clients
- Files are usually stored centrally
- Clients send requests to the server, the server processes and then responds
- The server stores user profiles, passwords and access information
- Most uses of the internet work on a client-server network
- Pros
- Easier to track files
- Easier to perform back-ups
- Easier to install and update software
- Cons
- Expensive to set up
- If the server fails then everything will fail
- Server may become overloaded
- Peer-to-peer networks
- All devices are equal in a p2p network
- You store files on individual devices and share them with others
- Use p2p at home to share files
- Pros
- Easy to maintain
- No dependence on server
- Cons
- No centraliseded management
- Backups are more complicated
- Client server networks
