Answer to Question #317562 in Computer Networks for Dave

Question

Cite a situation in which you can apply the knowledge of cable routes in client server network design

Answer 1

Client-server architecture, architecture of a computer network in which many clients (remote processors) request and receive service from a centralized server (host computer). Servers wait for requests to arrive from clients and then respond to them. Clients are often situated at workstations or on personal computers, while servers are located elsewhere on the network, usually on more powerful machines. This computing model is especially effective when clients and the server each have distinct tasks that they routinely perform. In hospital data processing, for example, a client computer can be running an application program for entering patient information while the server computer is running another program that manages the database in which the information is permanently stored. Many clients can access the server’s information simultaneously, and, at the same time, a client computer can perform other tasks, such as sending e-mail.
