                         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

                  It is a network in which one computer is designated as the server and all the other computers
                  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.

                                                          Client-Server Network


                         WIRELESS NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY
                  In a wireless networking technology, no wires or physical media is used for connecting computers. It
                  uses electromagnetic waves like infrared, microwave and radio waves for transmission of the data.
