    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How many users are normally in a peer-to-peer network?

    • A.

      2-10.

    • B.

      10-50.

    • C.

      50-250.

    • D.

      250-1,000.

    Correct Answer
    A. 2-10.
    Explanation
    In a peer-to-peer network, the number of users typically ranges from 2 to 10. This is because peer-to-peer networks are designed for small-scale collaborations or file sharing among a limited number of users. These networks are decentralized, meaning that each user has equal authority and can directly communicate with other users. As the number of users increases, the network may become less efficient and harder to manage, which is why larger networks often use client-server models instead.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How many users are in a single-server network?

    • A.

      2-10

    • B.

      10-50.

    • C.

      50-250.

    • D.

      250-1,000.

    Correct Answer
    B. 10-50.
    Explanation
    A single-server network typically refers to a network where all the network resources are managed by a single server. In such a network, the number of users can vary, but it is generally recommended to have between 10 to 50 users. This range ensures that the server can handle the workload efficiently without being overwhelmed. Having too few users may underutilize the server's capabilities, while having too many users may lead to performance issues and decreased efficiency. Therefore, 10-50 users is considered an optimal range for a single-server network.

    • C.

      50-250.

    • D.

      250-1,000.

    Correct Answer
    C. 50-250.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 50-250. This range suggests that a multi-server network typically consists of a moderate number of users. Having too few users (2-10) would not require multiple servers, while having too many users (250-1,000) would likely require more servers than a typical multi-server network. Therefore, the range of 50-250 strikes a balance between the need for multiple servers and the size of the user base.
