Detailed explanation-1: -Client-server networks are computer networks that use a dedicated computer (server) to store data, manage/provide resources and control user access. The server acts as a central point on the network upon which the other computers connect to. A computer that connects to the server is called a client.
Detailed explanation-2: -A client-server network is a communications architecture in which clients receive resources and services from a dedicated host over a local area network (LAN) or a wide-area network (WAN), such as the Internet.
Detailed explanation-3: -A client-server network is designed for end-users, called clients, to access resources such as files, songs, video collections, or some other service from a central computer called a server. A server’s sole purpose is to do what its name implies-serve its clients!
Detailed explanation-4: -Network sockets A socket represents one end of the connection between client and server. A listening socket is used by a server process to wait for connections from remote clients. In Java, use ServerSocket to make a listening socket, and use its accept method to listen to it.
