- - - - It is easier to set it up and it's less expensive.
      - In peer-to-peer networks, all nodes act as a server as well as client, therefore there is no need of dedicated server.
      - It is not required for peer-to-peer networks to use the dedicated server computer. Any computer on the network can function as both a network server and a user workstation.
    - - In the client-server model, many users trying to access a large file (such as a film) would put strain on one server however, in the peer-to-peer model, many users on the network could store the same file. Each computer can then send sections of the file, sharing the workload. Each client can download and share files with other users.
      - P2P is ideal for sharing files. P2P would be unsuitable for a service such as booking tickets, as one server needs to keep track of how many tickets are left. Also, on P2P networks no single computer is responsible for storing a file - anyone can delete files as they wish.
      - In a P2P network, no single provider is responsible for being the server. Each computer stores files and acts as a server. Each computer has equal responsibility for providing data.
    - - Network security has to be applied to each computer separately.
      - Backup has to be performed on each computer separately.
      - There is no centralized server is available to manage and control the access of data.
      - As with most network systems, unsecured and unsigned codes may allow remote access to files on a victim's computer or ever compromise the entire network.
      - Copyrighted files like, music and films, can be downloaded and shared illegally.
