Which network can continue to function if a device fails?
A
Client server network
B
Peer to peer network
C
Both client server and peer to peer
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If a single computer malfunctions, other computers in a peer-to-peer network will continue to function. This also prevents traffic bottlenecks since traffic is distributed across multiple computers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peer-to-peer network architecture is easy to set up and maintain as each computer manages itself. In the P2P network model, the response time is low as the computer systems are directly connected. We can easily share devices like printers among all the connected systems of the network.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the P2P network, each device is considered a peer-thus “peer-to-peer”-with functions that contribute to the network. Each computer is both a client and a server and they share resources with other networked computers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The client server networks work on sharing of information while the peer to peer networks focuses on connectivity. Centralized servers get used to store data in the client server network while each peer gets its data in the peer to peer networks.

Detailed explanation-5: -Peer to peer computer networks are good choice for small business organizations. For example: a small pharmacy outlet, an automobile service center, a small clinic etc.
