Peer-to-peer networks have no distinct clients or servers, as each node can request and provide services. In contrast, client-server systems have dedicated servers that store centralized data and respond to requests from clients. While client-server is more stable and scalable, peer-to-peer is less expensive since the workload is distributed across peers instead of concentrated on a single server.
