              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

        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.

              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. The
        choice of the technology depends on the distance and speed of transmission. There are two types of
        wireless technologies named Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
