Peer-Peer:
a peer-to-peer network is a network that does not have a central computer, all the computers are independent. you would find this type of network in home networks or small networks comprised of a dozen or less computers.

Advantage:
all clients provide resources, which may include bandwidth, storage space, and computing power.

Disadvantage:
unsecure and unsigned codes could allow access to files on a victim's computer or even the entire network

Client/Server:
is a network in which one or more computers are servers and provide services to the other computers that are called clients

Advantage:
updates to that data are far easier to administer in compared to a P2P

Disadvantage:
As the number of client requests to a server increases, the server can become overloaded.
