3. Traffic pattern:
1.
Terminal / Host: Applications
based on Terminal / Host are low -
volume character traffic. The
traffic from the terminal will be a
few characters while the Host
returns screen full of characters.
2.
Client / Server: The traffic
flow in Client / server environment
is bi-directional and asymmetric.
Traffic sent to the host is usually
less than 100 bytes and the return
traffic from the host can be more
than 1500 bytes. HHTP, FTP are
examples of Client / Server
Protocols.
3.
Peer/ Peer: In peer-to-peer
environment, traffic flow is
bi-directional and symmetric. Peer
to peer communication is commonly
used in work groups.
