Today, I kept the relationship between restaurant and Internet world in my mind, because it's very interesting. It provides me another angle to recognize Internet, very vividly.
On the other hand, I also kept a question in my mind: how does client communicate with other clients, directly or indirectly? have to use servers to deliver or not?

Hi,
My name is Minjae and I am in your DMT class.
Just regarding your comment about how clients talk to each other...
Firstly, there is no need for a server to exist between two clients.
Two clients or hosts can talk directly to each other being connected with either a wire or wireless connection.
They can also be indirectly connected through different kinds of devices. (e.g a Router that routes or directs data packets from one host to another host)
** A router is a computer that is used to direct data packets to the right way according their logical addresses such as IP address.
Hi, Minjae, thanks a lot for your explanation about the communication between client. I have this question just because I, being a client, couldn't find any client easily and the address of the clients or hosts are dynamic which always change, so I think there must be some differences between services and clients. Thus, I will find it:)
