Lesson
Set Up a Peer to Peer Network
1
A
network is simply a group
of two or more personal
computers linked together.
Many types of networks exist, but
the most common types of
networks are Local-Area Networks
(LANs), and Wide-Area Networks
(WANs).In a LAN, computers are
connected together within a "local"
area (for example, an office or
home). In a WAN, computers are
further apart and are connected
via telephone/communication
lines, radio waves or other means
of connection.

You will be able to learn network architecture in this module and how to do
a peer to peer network using computer server and a client to share files, computers
and printers.1

Let us see if you still remember the previous module you have completed. In this
Venn Diagram, kindly compare and contrast the two main types of IP addresses.
Write your answer on another sheet of paper. You will be graded one point each,
make at least two (2) comparisons, contrasts, and similarities with a total of six (6)
items.

After refreshing your knowledge about the setting up computer networks in setting
network configuration by knowing and understanding the differences and
similarities of IP Address in a network whether you will use Static or Dynamic IP
Address in the previous module. Also, you will consider the importance of the
different classes of IP Address for you to be able to distinguish what IP address you
are going to use. It seems that you really fully understand the Setting Up Computer
Networks, it will be now easier for you to understand the new module about Setting
Up Computer Servers because you already have a knowledge on this part so you
can apply and explore new topics by means of this.

Now, you are ready to a new lesson, let’s turn to the next page to explore the new
world of networking! Let’s go!

What’s New

Network Operating System / P2P Networking / Folder Sharing

This activity will help you to understand more about the idea on how the network
operating system processes by creating user access and by sharing files and
printer. Answer the different given scenarios to analyze how this works. You will be
graded using the rubrics below. You can have a highest possible score of 30 for this
assessment. Try your best to get 80% in this activity, this will be the passing rate.

1. The most common use case for peer-to-

peer networks is the sharing of files on the
internet. Peer-to-peer networks are ideal for
file sharing because they allow the
computers connected to them to receive files
and send files simultaneously. Imagine this
situation: you open your web browser and
visit a website where you download a file. In
this case, which will act as a server and as a
client? Where can you compare this
situation in real life?

2. The image shows multiple peers

sharing data between themselves. When you
download the same file from a peer-to-peer
network, how does the downloaded file will be
in a networked computers and what will
happen to the file?

a certain working station?

are also commonly used for illicit
activities. As an example shown in this
image, you can share with other home
group members such as pictures, videos,
music, documents, and printers &
devices. (What do you think will be the
charge of this or )What kind of illicit
activities will this be?

What is It

NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM FEATURES

A. Network Operating System

The term network operating system is used to refer to two rather different
concepts:
1. A specialized operating
system for a network
device such as a router,
switch or firewall.
2. An operating system
oriented to computer
networking, to allow
shared file and printer
access among multiple
computers in a
network, to enable the sharing of data, users, groups, security,
applications, and other networking functions typically over a local
area network (LAN), or private network. This sense is now largely
historical, as common operating systems generally now have such
features included.2

B. Peer-to-Peer Network
In a Peer-to-Peer network operating system
users are allowed to share resources and files
located on their computers and access shared
resources from others. This system is not
based with having a file server or centralized
management source. A Peer-to-Peer network
sets all connected computers equal; they all
share the same abilities to use resources available
on the network.
The advantages include:
a. Ease of setup
b. Less hardware needed, no server need be acquired
The disadvantages include:
a. No central location for storage

system.

Downloaded by Jsmjc ID ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|27880390

b. Less security than the client–server model

C. Client/Server Network
Network operating systems can be based on a Client–Server
model (architecture) in which a server enables multiple clients to share
resources. Client-server network operating systems allow networks to
centralize functions and applications in one or more dedicated file servers.
The server is the center of the system, allowing access to resources and
instituting security.

The advantages include:

a. Centralized servers are more stable.

b. Security is provided through the server.
c. New technology and hardware can be easily integrated into the
system.
d. Hardware and the operating system can be specialized, focusing
on performance.
e. Servers are able to be accessed remotely from different locations
and types of systems.
The disadvantages include:

a. Buying and running a server raises costs.

b. Dependence on a central location for operation.
c. Requires regular maintenance and updates.

D. Client/Server Network VS Peer to Peer Network

upload and download files.

______3. If you could see all computers in Local Area Connection, you have
successfully configured a workgroup.

_______4.Having the same file stored on many of the peers in a P2P network means
that when someone needs to download it, the file is downloaded from single
locations simultaneously.

______5. A reboot is required to save the changes of a name of computer and

workgroup’s name.

and processing in a peer to peer network sharing and folder permissions. Now you
are ready for the next level, turn the page and happy networking!

Independent Activity 2. SKETCH IT OUT!

Direction: All you have to do is to sketch / draw a simple layout of how you are
going to differentiate the network of a Peer to Peer and a Client/Server to establish
a network user access policy. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.
Below the table, indicate your simple explanation based on the drawing that you
have done. You will be graded using the rubrics below, and you are to have a
highest possible score of 45 points for this activity.
