25. OCR GCSE (J277) 1.3 Client server, peer to peer
About this video
OCR J277 Specification Reference - Section 1.3
The two ways of configuring services on a network are outlined in this video. Client server, where devices are reliant on services provided and managed by a central server; and peer-to-peer where there is no server and each device provides services and files to other devices on the network. You can think of this as ‘dedicated servers’ vs ‘local hosts’.
Don't forget, whenever the blue note icon appears in the corner of the screen, that is your cue to take notes about the content being shown on the current slide.
