Q#01: What are the principles of peer to peer and domain base network?
 PEER TO PEER network Principles is as:

1. Peer to peer can be seen as organizational principle

System exhibits the peer-to-peer principle more or less clearly

2. Peer to peer principle applicable to many kinds of systems

Content distribution, communication, distributed computation, and collaboration.

3. Core concepts of peer-to-peer principle:

1. Self-organizing, no central management

2. Resource sharing e.g. files
3. Based on voluntary collaboration, e.g., Wikipedia
4. Peers in P2P are all equal (more or less)
5. Large numbers of peers in network

4. In contrast: Client Server systems have clearly defined roles for client and server.

Principles of domain base network:

1. Domain base network use a structure that enables assigning permissions to users.
2. Domain base network is a centralized network.
3. Centralized network makes the most sense.
4. It depend on single server which handle all the major processing.

Q#02 What kind of servers, workstations, switches, topologies and cable

infrastructure required for reliable and smooth operation of these computer
networks like peer to peer and domain base network?
Servers:

Free NAS is one of the best server software available and comes with a wide range of features
such as data encryption, data snapshots, with file sharing replication and protection. In addition,
Free NAS also comes with advanced features such as snapshots and file replication features in
peer to peer and domain base network. And cloud server is also reliable because it provides
maximum network uptime and guarantees no single point of failure.

Workstations:

There are many workstations are used in networking system. But most reliable workstations are
as follows: Dell Precision 5820 (2019), Dell Precision 7920 Tower (2020), Falcon Northwest
Talon (2019), and HP Z2 Mini G4 Workstation etc.

Switches:

There are many types of switches used in networking but Non-contact switches are more reliable
than contact switches in peer to peer and domain base network.

Best type of switches are mechanical keyboard gaming switches, ultra-lightweight mechanical
keyboard gaming etc.

Topologies:
There are different kind of topologies are used in networking like Bus, Star, Mesh, Tree. Star
Topology is best suited for smaller networks but mesh topology is most reliable to handle high
amounts of traffic, because multiple devices can transmit simultaneously. A failure of one device
does not cause a break in the network or transmission of data.

Cables Infrastructure:

There are many infrastructures are used in networking for reliable and smoothing of network.
Like as Twisted pair, fiber optic and Coaxial etc. Fiber-Optics infrastructure is more reliable and
smoothing in peer to peer and domain base network.

Q#03: What are key factors of webhosting server and how can we make it
secure for smooth accessibility of the web portal.

There are the following are the key factors in webhosting server:

 Operating System
 Storage
 Speed and Performance
 Scalability
 Manageability

Examples of Webhosting server are as: Cheap custom-built server, Expensive custom-built
server, pre-built tower server, and pre-built rack server units etc.

There are some tips for smooth accessibility of the web portal:

 Structure and organize with headers

 Assign alt tags for images
 Use descriptive titles for links
 Use colors carefully
 Design forms for web accessibility
 Use table for tabular data etc.
