Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a P2P network, computing devices use software to connect with each other over a private network, such as a home local area network (LAN) or a public network, such as the Internet. This direct connection allows each device to share files without requiring the assistance of a remote server.
