COMPUTER NETWORKS AND THEIR FEATURES

In a local computer network, servers perform the function of distributing network resources. Usually, sufficiently powerful personal computers or special computers can perform the server function. If there are several servers in the network, then each server serves the workstation by connecting to another. The set of computers of the server and the workstations connected to them is called a domain. In some cases, there may be several servers in one domain. One of these servers is the main server, and the rest play the role of backup servers or logical extensions of the main server.
