Network Types
Network Type
Networks fall into two major types:
peer-to-peer and client/server **
Peer-to-Peer Networking:
This is a simple network configuration that
requires some basic know-how to set up. Each of the interconnected machines
share dual capability and responsibility on the network. That is to say, that
each machine serves a dual purpose or role, i.e. they are both clients and
servers to some extent.
The server capability of the machines is very
basic. The services provided by each, is no more than the ability to share
resources like files, folders, disk drives and printers. They even have the
ability to share Internet access.
Client/Server Networks
Server based networks, or client/server
networks as they are properly called, has a machine at the heart of its
operations called the server. A server is a machine that provides services over
a network by responding to client requests. Servers rarely have individuals
operating it, and even then, it is usually to install, configure or manage its
capabilities. The server's essential role on the network is to be continuously
available to handle the many requests generated by its clients.
