Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of network types one is peer-to-peer, and another is client-server. In a client-server network, many clients can connect to a server. The clients need services, and the server offers needed services. However, in a peer-to-peer network, we don’t have any clients or servers.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a P2P network architecture, each computer has the same responsibilities and capabilities. Since there is no server, the computers connect with each other in a workgroup to share files, printers and internet access. This architecture is practical for workgroups of 12 or fewer computers.
Detailed explanation-3: -A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a communications model in which each computing device on the network can function as either a server or a client.
