Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. A network with all the nodes acting as both servers and clients . A PC can access files located on another PC and also provide files to other PC. A decentralised network of peers-nodes that can function as both clients and servers-makes up a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Peer-to-peer (P2P) is a decentralized communications model in which all nodes in the network have equivalent capability and can function as both a client and server. Nodes in peer-to-peer computing collectively use their resources and communicate with each other directly on-demand.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary difference between these two terms is that, in a peer-to-peer network, every node can ask for assistance and deliver services. While in a client-server network, the client nodes demand services and the server node answers with assistance.

Detailed explanation-4: -LAN (local area network): A LAN connects computers over a relatively short distance, allowing them to share data, files, and resources. For example, a LAN may connect all the computers in an office building, school, or hospital.
