Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

I don’t have a server in my network. What type of network is this?

A	Mesh
B	Star
C	Client-Server
D	Peer-2-Peer (P2P)

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In a peer-to-peer network, computers on the network are equal, with each workstation providing access to resources and data. This is a simple type of network where computers are able to communicate with one another and share what is on or attached to their computer with other users.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some examples of P2P architectures include BitTorrent (file sharing), Tor (anonymous internet browsing), and Bitcoin (a decentralized transaction ledger). Peers only have access to the data that they share with each other.
