What is the main difference between a client-server model and a peer-to-peer network?

• Client-server model has a hierarchical structure, while peer-to-peer networks have a mesh topology.

• Client-server model uses wireless connections, while peer-to-peer networks use wired connections.

• Client-server model relies on a central server, while peer-to-peer networks do not.

• Client-server model uses IPv6, while peer-to-peer networks use IPv4.

What is the main advantage of a thick client over a thin client in a client-server architecture?

• Thick clients are more cost-effective.

• Thick clients rely less on server resources.

• Thick clients have better network connectivity.

• Thick clients are easier to manage.
