Networks can come in all shapes and sizes, but the two basic categories are peer-to-peer networks and client-server networks. Client-server networks are for over 15 users generally, and mostly used in small to large business environments.

The composition of the server varies depending on the network, but the basics will include a domain controller, DHCP, and DNS. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
