Study Notes
Architecture Types
- Client-server architecture involves an always-on server and intermittently connected clients.
- Primary characteristic of P2P architecture is that all nodes are equal and can act as both clients and servers.
Communication Paradigm
- The Request-Response paradigm describes and classifies methods by which entities can interact and exchange data.
Network Architecture
- Application layer involves programs running on different end systems and communicating over the network.
- This layer is where network applications run and interact with each other.
Key Features
- Client-server architecture is distinguished from P2P architecture by having a dedicated server that provides services to clients.
- Primary characteristic of client-server architecture is the presence of a dedicated server that provides services to clients.
- Key feature of P2P architecture is that all nodes are equal and can act as both clients and servers.
- Network applications in this context are characterized by programs running on different end systems and communicating over the network.
