Detailed explanation-1: -In a client-server network there are two types of computers. The computers that control access to the network and services such as printers and files and the computers on which the users work. By cable e.g. Ethernet or catv cable or by wireless. For a small peer-to-peer network, USB or Firewire cables could be used.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Architecture. A peer-to-peer network is designed around the notion of equal peer nodes simultaneously functioning as both “clients” and “servers” to the other nodes on the network. This model of network arrangement differs from the client–server model where communication is usually to and from a central server.
