What are the main differences between a client/server network and a peer-to-peer network?

What will be an ideal response?

Again, the answers here may vary, but the primary difference is the hierarchical relationship in a client/server system and the equal party relationship with peertopeer.The centralization of resources is another crucial difference; the server maintains the resources in client/server, whereas any peer can maintain resources for sharing in the peer-to-peer environment.Scalability is another issue; peer-to-peer networks scale poorly past a small grouping at which point the client/server system justifies the cost and resources.
