2. RING
2. Peer to peer
2. PC to PC
2. Interconnected network
What is the correct description/ definition for the type of architecture shown in the picture?
Each computer has equal responsibilities and capabilities , sharing hardware(such as a printer), data and information with other computers.
Each computer has equal rights to use the network, and anyone can force the other to be ban
The computer are connected together in such a way that the network looks like a ring
The computer in this type of architecture has the responsibility to make sure each computer can use the internet equally
What is the function of the server?
1. Controls access to hardware on the network
2. Controls which device can connect to the network
3. Providing a central, common file storage area
1. takes oerders fronm other computers
2. Serve the other computers with funds
3. Managing the voltage used by the network

In this image what are the B's known as?

Hardware
"Compare to Peer to Peer architecture, Client/ Server architecture is cheaper"
"You need network professional to manage peer to peer architecture."
"The minimum number of devices on a peer to peer network is 2."
"in a Client/ server architecture, all devices or PC has equal responsibility."
In a client-server network:
there can only be one server
there is one “client” and many “servers” which provide printing, file storage and Internet access.
there may be hundreds of clients
All files and software are held by the server.
The advantages of a client-server network include:
security is created, managed and enforced
backup of data is centralised
many computers have access to centralised resources
All options
A peer-to-peer network:
usually links just two computers
allows computers on the network to exchange files with each other
is often used by people working in a large organisation
is not vulnerable to hacking
A peer-to-peer network:
uses a central file server loaded with the required applications
requires only one anti-virus scanner for all computers in the network
carries out automatic backup for all computers on the network
is commonly found in a home or small office
What is the role of a file server in a client-server network?
To make requests, like requesting a file
To store and share files
