I have one question for my teacher, and I hope he is still in the room.
Then, alright son, let's carry on.
Oh, I see you came all the way up here, eh? hahaha
Sir! There is one thing that I didn't catch up on earlier in your lecture, and I was hoping that you could enlighten me
about the disadvantages and advantages of peer-to-peer networks and client-server networks.
Let's start with peer-to-peer networks
In peer-to-peer networks, there is no need for a dedicated server because all nodes function as both server and client.
Peer-to-peer networks have the added benefit of being easier to set up, in addition to being less expensive.
The disadvantage of peer-to-peer networking is that data and folders cannot be centrally backed up. They frequently have very low security, and there is a possibility of virus attack.
And what about the disadvantages and advantages of the client-server network, sir?
And also the users can access shared data that is centrally controlled.
Well, the advantage of it is that its backups and network security are controlled centrally.
The disadvantages of client-server networks are that specialist staff, such as a network manager, is needed.
Besides that, if any part of the network fails, a lot of disruption can occur.
Now my curiosity has finally been satisfied. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me, sir!
