🌐 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) vs. Client-Server Network
How do computers share data? They use two main network models. Here is the core comparison:
🔹 1. Client-Server Model
How it works: A powerful Server acts as the central boss, while other computers (Clients) request data from it (e.g., browsing YouTube).
Pros/Cons: Highly secure and centrally managed, but expensive to set up. Used by major websites and banks.
🔹 2. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Model
How it works: No central server exists. Every computer (Peer) has equal status and can share files directly with others.
Pros/Cons: Cheap and easy to set up for small groups, but less secure and harder to scale. Used in torrent downloads.
🚀 Understanding these architectures helps determine how data flows and how security is implemented.
