Network Architectures for Client/Server Computing
- The Role of Network Technologies:
- The well designed network provides connectivity and interoperability.
- Connectivity defines how computers are connected to “talk” to one another.
- Interoperability is an ideal state in which connected computers cooperate with one another in a manner that is transparent to their users (the clients).
- Network topology describes how a network provides connectivity between the computers on that network.
