is used by the client to view websites. Examples of web browsers—Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft
Edge, Safari, Opera, etc.

for communication in the network. Some of the examples of protocols are FTP, SMTP, TCP/IP, etc.
(ii) Differentiate between Client-Server and Peer-to-Peer networks. 2
Client-Server networks: In Client-Server network, multiple clients, or workstations, are connected

installed in it and a client is a computer which is seeking any resource from another computer.
When clients need access to these resources, they access them from the server. This network is
used for larger networks.

Peer-to-Peer networks: In Peer-to-Peer network, all nodes in the network have equivalent capability
and function as both client and server. In this network, all workstations are connected together
for sharing devices, information or data. This network is ideal for small networks where there is no
need for dedicated servers.

Wi-fi: Wi-Fi is the wireless technology used to connect computers, tablets, smartphones and other devices
to the internet wirelessly using microwaves.
FTP: FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a network protocol for transmitting files between computers
over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connections. It is also used to download
new applications via web browsers.
(ii) Differentiate between Router and Gateway. 2
Router: Routers operate in the physical, data link and network layers of the OSI model. They decide the
path a packet should take. A router is a networking device whose software and hardware are usually
tailored to the tasks of routing and forwarding data packets across the network.
Gateway: A gateway operates on all the seven layers of the OSI model. A network gateway is a computer
that has internet-working capability of joining together two networks that use different base
protocols. The gateway converts one protocol to another and can, therefore, connect two dissimilar
networks.
