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.

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: -A client-server network is a connection between a client computer and a server computer to provide the client with the server’s resources. In the P2P network, each device is considered a peer-thus “peer-to-peer”-with functions that contribute to the network.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
