Question

difference between client server systems and peer to peer systems      

Answer 1

In a client-server architecture, a user computer plays only the role of a client, and a dedicated computer plays the role of a server; in a peer-to-peer architecture, users are connected to each other and their computers simultaneously act as a server (for others, a client) and a client when connecting to others users.
