Windows server 2016, ubuntu server, and red hat. Enterprise linux (ubuntu and red hat are versions of linus) P2p (peer-to-peer) network model: operating system of each computer on the network is responsible for controlling access to its resources without centralized control. Computers, called nodes or hosts on the network, form a logical group of computers and users that share resources. Each computer on a p2p network control its own administration, resources, and security. Windows, linux, and macos on desktop and laptop computers and ios, android, and. If the network supports fewer than 15 computers, a p2p network is the best. Advantages: simple to configure, may be used in environments in which time or technical expertise is scarce, often less expensive to set up and maintain than other types of networks. Disadvantages: not scalable: as a p2p network grows larger, adding or changing significant elements of the network may be difficult, not necessarily secure.
