A client/server computer network is one which has a centralized infrastructure – one computer, called the “server,” acts as go-between for all other computers, which are called “clients.” The server can share its resources with clients, but clients do not share their resources such as – computing power or hard drive space – with the network. A peer-to-peer network – not to be confused with peer-to-peer file sharing through torrents and the like – is one in which there is no central server. All computers are connected and each can act as the server or client to another. The computers all share resources with each other such as computer processing or hard drive space. Writer Bio
