Study Notes
Network Functions and Architectures
- The primary function of a network is to facilitate communication and resource sharing between connected devices.
- A peer-to-peer (P2P) network architecture features all devices as equals, allowing them to function both as clients and servers.
- In a bus topology, all devices are linked to a single central cable, known as the bus, which carries data traffic.
Client-Server Architecture
- In client-server architecture, all shared data is stored centrally on the server, which provides services and resources to client devices.
Cloud-Based Network Architecture
- The primary function of cloud-based network architecture is to provide on-demand access to shared computing resources and services over the internet, enabling scalability and flexibility for users.
