Which network type has no central server, so every computer shares resources equally?

Correct answer: Peer-to-peer. In a peer-to-peer network, all computers are equal and no central server is needed.

Background: Peer-to-peer networks are common in small offices and homes.

• Client-server: A client-server network uses a central server.
• Star topology: A star topology connects devices to a central hub or switch.
• Ring topology: A ring topology is a layout, not a network that shares resources equally.

Did you know? File-sharing programs also use peer-to-peer technology.

Memory trick: Peer = equal, no boss.
