What is a key characteristic that distinguishes a client-server network from a peer-to-peer network?
30
In a peer-to-peer network, each device can act as both a client and a server.
In a peer-to-peer network, only one device controls the network.
In a client-server network, resources are managed centrally by a server.
In a client-server network, all devices must be the same type.
Q 2/40

In a client-server network, what role does the client typically play?
30
The client stores all network data locally.
The client manages security protocols for the server.
The client controls access to network resources.
The client sends requests to the server and uses resources provided by the server.
