Detailed explanation-1: -Key advantages of using a P2P network Reduced costs: There is no need to invest in a separate computer for a server when setting up a P2P network. It doesn’t require a network operating system or a full-time system administrator. Adaptability: P2P network extends to include new clients easily.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following is an advantage of a peer to peer network? Files and folders cannot be centrally backed up. Does not need an expensive server as individual workstations are used to access files. Network security can be carried out centrally.
Detailed explanation-3: –The peer to peer network is less expensive.-Peer to peer network is easier to set up and use this means that you can spend less time in the configuration and implementation of peer to peer network.-It is not require for the peer to peer network to use the dedicated server computer.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
