Client/Server
The client/server relationship describes a process that allows most functions on the Internet to occur. Typically, the client program places a request for information or a task to a server. On the Internet, this can occur from 2 separate/distant locations using networking technologies as well as the use of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Email programs and email servers, as well as web browsers and web servers are some widely used examples of a client/server relationship.
