what is mean by client and server?

Answer Posted / sriharsha

Client : Usully one who make requests.
In very simple language....if u r sitting in
front of a computer connected to the internet...and u
type in MAIL.YAHOO.COM in ur browser...then thats the
functionality of a client....in short ur computer is ur
client sending requests.

Server : Its the one which proceeses the request sent by
the client ...does some activity...and responds to the
requests.All web based applns have a server.when u type
YAHOO.COM ur request is sent to the YAHOO ASIA SERVER
LOCATED IN SINGAPORE.it will process it and then send u the
response that u see opening up the yahoo home page.
In case if the server is busy...coz...each server has a
particular load capacity...u get a apage cant be displayed
or server not found message.

Usully all the client's requests are sent to the server via
TCP/IP Protocols.
