What is Network Architecture?
Network architecture is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
Type of Network Architecture
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a
distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or work loads
between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants in
the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes.
Client-server architecture (client/server) is a network architecture in which each computer or process on the network is either a
client or a
server. Servers are powerful computers or processes dedicated to managing disk drives (
file servers), printers (
print servers), or network traffic (
network servers ). Clients are PCs or workstations on which users run applications. Clients rely on servers for resources, such as files, devices, and even processing power.
