Consider a chain of processes P₁, P2, ..., Pn implementing a multitiered client-server architecture. Process P; is client of process Pi+1, and P; will return a reply to Pi-1 only after receiving a reply from P+1. What are the main problems with this organization when taking a look at the request-reply perfor- mance at process P₁?

Is there a downside to a two-tier architecture?A multitier client–server strategy may be able to address this issue.
Is there a significant disadvantage to using a two-tier architecture?How does a method that involves many tiers of client and server work to solve this problem?
Designs of client-server architectures with two tiers are susceptible to a fatal defect. Is the solution a client-server design that has several tiers?
A client-server architecture with two levels has a fatal fault. Is a multi-tier client-server design the answer to this conundrum?
Two-tier client-server architectures have a fatal fault that may have catastrophic effects. Do we need a client-server design with several layers?
Is there anything particularly problematic with a two-tier design?So, how does a multi-tier client-server architecture handle this issue?
In a two-tier architecture, what is the main problem? This difficulty may be solved by using a multitier client–server design.
For example, Computer A can communicate with computer C by using TELNET. At the same time, computer A communicates with computer B by using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). For these processes to receive data simultaneously, we need a method to label the different processes. Could you explain that method?
Assume that a client can use UDP to obtain a file from a distant server at a known address. The client initiates the request for a file name, and the server responds with a sequence of data packets containing various file components. To ensure delivery reliability, the client and server use a stop-and-wait protocol. Is there anything else wrong with this protocol aside apparent performance issues? Consider the possibility of process failure.
Two processes C and S are involved in a remote invocation, with C acting as the client while S actsas the server.• Highlight the underlying request-reply protocol using its primitives.• S did not respond on time to the request issued by C. Explain the steps taken by bothprocesses using the at-least-once semantics.
