ON THE BASIS OF ARCHITECTURE

Network architecture refers to the design and layout of a computer network. It outlines the
structure and organisation of various components, including hardware, software, protocols
and services, which work together to enable communication and resource sharing within
the network. There are two main types of network architectures: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network and
Client-Server Network.
