Detailed explanation-1: -The client-server network model provides better security because the file access is controlled by the server, not the nodes. A p2p network is more vulnerable. The peers act like the server and the consumer at the same time which is why file access can’t be handled centrally, the security is handled by the users.
Detailed explanation-2: -A client server network is more stable and secure than a peer to peer network. This is also an another difference between peer to peer and client server network.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is true about a client-server network? In a client-server network, a dedicated server responds to service requests from clients. The roles of client and server are not shared on each host in the network.
Detailed explanation-4: -Advantages of the Client-Server Network Less damage since one client computer does not impact other computers in the network. Easy recovery of files is possible since backups are centrally controlled by network administrators. More secure since files and everything else is centralized on such networks.
