Peer to Peer Network
Installation

What is computer Network?

A computer network consists of 2 or additional computing devices that are connected so as to
share the elements of your network
(its resources) and also the data you store there, the foremost basic network (which consists of
justtwo connected computers) will expand and become additional usable when extra computers
be part of and add their resources to those being shared.
The first pc, yours, is usually spoken as your native pc. It is additional seemingly to be used as a
location wherever you are doing work, a digital computer than as a storage or dominant location,
a server. As additional and additional
computers are connected to a network and share their resources, the network
becomes a additional powerful tool, as a result of staff employing a network with additional data
and additional capability are able to accomplish more through those another computers or extra
resources. The real power of networking computers becomes apparent if you envision your own
network growing then connecting it with alternative distinct networks, sanctioning
communication and resource sharing across each networks That is, one network will be
connected to a different network and become a additional powerful tool attributable to the bigger
resources

 Requirements of network:

 Network interfaces
 Repeaters and hubs
 Bridges
 Switches
 Routers
 Modems
 Firewalls

Peer-to-Peer Networks:

A peer is considered an equal. All computers on a peer-to-peer network can be considered

equals, That is to saye no. one computer is in charge of the network’s operation. Each computer
controls its own information and is capable of functioning as either a client or a server depending
on which is needed at the time .Peer-to-peer networks are popular as home networks and for use
in small companies because they are inexpensive and easy to install. Most operating systems (the
software that runs the basic computer functionality) come with peer-to-peer networking
capability built in. The only other cost involved with setting up a peer-to-peer network comes
into play if a computer does not have a network interface card, or NIC (the device that physically
connects your computer to your network’s cabling), already installed.

Client-Based Networks:

Client-based networks are a further refinement to the concept of a server based network that
relieves the heavy burden on the network’s capacity resulting from frequent server-performed
transactions. A client-based network takes better advantage of the server’s powerful processors
and of the increasingly powerful computers used in typical workstations. A client based network
utilizes a client workstation’s power in processing some functions locally while requesting
additional processing from a server whenever it is needed for increased speed.

Client-based network servers process requests from clients and return just the results, rather than
sending the original resource to the client to be processed and returned after computations are
complete. Client-based networks, therefore take advantage of the powerful processing
capabilities of both the client and the server,  This type of arrangement may include application
servers (where entire computer programs are shared from the server) and communications
servers.

Topology used for peer to peer network connection

Mesh topology:

A network setup wherever every laptop and network device is interconnected with each other,
permitting most transmissions to be distributed even though one in every of the connections go
down. it's a topology usually used for wireless networks. Below could be a visual example of an
easy laptop setup on a network employing a topology.

Advantages of a topology 

1. Manages high amounts of traffic, as a result of multiple devices will transmit knowledge
at the same time. 
2. A failure of 1 device doesn't cause an occasion within the network or transmission of
knowledge.
3. Adding further devices doesn't disrupt knowledge transmission between alternative
devices.

Disadvantages of a network topology 

1. The price to implement is beyond alternative network topologies, creating it a less

fascinating choice. 
2. Building and maintaining the topology is troublesome and time overwhelming. 
3. The likelihood of redundant connections is high, that adds to the high prices and
potential for reduced potency.

Drawbacks: 

    Yes, peer-to-peer networks square measure easier to put in and manage than domain-based
networks, however they are doing have their drawbacks: Because peer-to-peer networks square
measure supported computers running shopper versions of Windows, they’re subject to the
inherent limitations of these Windows versions. shopper versions of Windows square measure
designed primarily to be associate degree package for a single-user microcomputer instead of to
operate as a part of a network. These versions can’t manage a file or printer server as with
efficiency as a true network package.

If you don’t came upon a fanatical network server, somebody (hopefully, not you) could have to
be compelled to abide the inconvenience of sharing his or her laptop with the network. With
Windows Server, the server computers square measure dedicated to network use in order that
nobody has got to place up with this inconvenience. Although a peer-to-peer network could have
a lower value per laptop for smaller networks, the price distinction between peer-to-peer
networks and Windows Server is a smaller amount vital in larger networks (say, 10 or a lot of
clients).

Conclusion:

In this project we learn about installation of peer to peer network with client server architecture.
In this project we install setup of peer to peer network step by step. all computers on a peer-to-
peer network can be considered equals, That is to say no one computer is in charge of the
network’s operation. Client-based networks are a further refinement to the concept of a server
based network that relieves the heavy burden on the network’s capacity resulting from frequent
server-performed transactions.
