Network architecture mainly focuses on the cost of the networks.

Network architecture is also known as network model or network design.

There are three main network architectures.

A client/server network is a network where the shared files and

applications are stored in the server but network users (clients) can still
store files on their individual PCs.

A server is a computer that shares information and resources with other

computers on a network.

A client is a computer which requests services or files from a server

computer.

Peer-to-peer network is a network with all the nodes acting as both

servers and clients.

All computers in the peer-to-peer network have equal responsibilities and

capabilities to use the resources available on the network.

There are three main network architectures: server network,client

network and peer-to-peer network.
