Network Resources
Components of Computer Network
◻ Two or more computers
◻ Cables as links between the computers ◻ A
network interfacing card(NIC) on each
computer ◻ Switches
◻ Software called operating system(OS)
Applications of Computer Network
◻ A computer network is defined as the
interconnection of two or more computers. It is
done to enable the computers to communicate
and share available resources.
◻ Applications:
i. Sharing of resources such as printers
ii. Sharing of expensive software's and database iii.
Communication from one computer to another
computer iv. Exchange of data and information
among users via network
v. Sharing of information over geographically wide areas.

Peer to Peer Network
◻ In peer to peer network each computer is responsible for
making its own resources available to other computers on the
network. ◻ Each computer is responsible for setting up and
maintaining its own security for these resources.
◻ Also each computer is responsible for accessing the
required network resources from peer to peer
relationships.
◻ Peer to peer network is useful for a small network
containing less than 10 computers on a single LAN .
◻ In peer to peer network each computer can function as both
client and server.
◻ Peer to peer networks do not have a central control
system. ◻ There are no servers in peer networks.
◻ Peer networks are amplified into home group.

Client/Server Network
◻ In client-server network relationships, certain computers act
as server and other act as clients. A server is simply a
computer, that available the network resources and
provides service to other computers when they request it.
◻ A client is the computer running a program that requests the
service from a server. Local area network(LAN) is based
on client server network relationship.
◻ A client-server network is one n which all available network
resources such as files, directories, applications and
shared devices, are centrally managed and hosted and
then are accessed by client.
◻ Client serve network are defined by the presence of servers
on a network that provide security and administration of the
network.
