NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
The network architecture defines the overall design of the computer network. There are two
types of network architectures.
Peer-to-Peer Network
It is a network of two or more computers that uses the
same type of program to share the data. Each computer
is considered to have equal responsibilities and acts like
a server to the other computers in the network. It works
well in small environment.
Client-Server Network Peer-to-Peer Network

connected on the network are called the clients. The clients can request for the services from the
server. This is called the client-server network.
