Peer to Peer Client Server Model

Centralization
In my opinion, Server-Client is more centralized because all the messages are sent to one server and the messages are then sent back to the clients.

Client-Server

  • Advantages of Client-Server: Client server is good for getting messages from 1 source rather than relying on the message to go from multiple people.
  • Disadvantage of Client Server: If the server is down then the messages can't be send back to the clients which can be devastating to many users.
-Peer to Peer
  • Advantages of Peer to Peer: The advantages to P2P networks are that the messages are traveled through multiple clients through dedicated servers.
  • Disadvantages of Peer to Peer: The network can be slower through P2P depending on the clients server connection which makes receiving the message longer.
