Felix is a system administrator. His manager asks him to install a peer-to-peer network in
the corporate office, which includes ten users. The corporate office does not have a
server. Which of the following choices is the best reason to discourage this solution?

A.
Peer to peer network are less secure because they do not centralize access control.

B.
Peer to peer network has too many intra structure costs for such a small
implementation.

C.
Peer to peer network administration requires advanced networking skills so phoenix
would need more training.

D.
Peer to peer networking is not ported by any of the major network operating systems.

Explanation:
In a peer-to-peer network, each peer is responsible for its own security
and access control. So, in a small network of 10 users, you have 10 system
administrators – each securing its own machine. This is a decentralized form of
administration. The central form of access of control is more secure because there is
one person administrating the network, and the administration is more uniform
across all nodes.
Incorrect Answers:
B: For a small network, such as 10 users, the peer to peer network intrastructure costs areactually
cheaper.
C: Peer to Peer does not require advanced networking skills, a centralized administrationwould
require those skills. Centralization incurs additional costs for software, hardware,and training, but
provides benefits that make the extra costs worthwhile.
D: Peer to Peer does work with other major network operating systems, includingNetware, Linux
and OS/2, so this is not actually true.
