Detailed explanation-3: -However, the most common use case for peer-to-peer networks is the sharing of files on the internet. Peer-to-peer networks are ideal for file sharing because they allow the computers connected to them to receive files and send files simultaneously.
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.
