Application Architectures

Application Architectures

1. Client Server

   • Data centres for scaling
   • Permanent IP address
   • Clients
     • May be intermittently connected
     • May have dynamic IP addresses
     • Do not communicate directly with each other

2. P2P

   • Arbitrary end systems directly communicate
   • Self Scalability – Peers bring new service capacity
   • Peers are intermittently connected / change IP addresses
