Comments

I don't see why there should be any discussion of peer-to-peer on this page. It is out of place to discuss such a small aspect of such a general term. I'd suggest replacing the first half of the page with a short definition of Network Architecture in the context of computer networks, e.g.

Network architecture can refer to the design of a computer network. In telecommunication, the term...

And as for the "See Also": OK, communication is relevant, though probably unnecessary.. but what the heck are psychology and sociology doing there?

Any objections?

I think we should remove the "merge into" request on the P2P article. This article however should mention P2P shortly and point to the main article with this template:

Cross-links

This article needs to have a table or list of topical links to more detailed info re. computer networks. An alternative would be to make Architecture an early subsection of Network. As it stands the topic is so brief that including it as a subtopic of Network seems preferable.

It seems reasonable to have cross-links to networks that exist outside the computer field, such as biological networks and artificial neural networks. A little general/motivational text about these other kinds of networks should be included here.

The kinds and behaviors of different network architectures should be discussed.

Merge proposal

User M added a merge proposal to article client-server to this article (which I removed) without informing this articles editors. The proposal is obviously grossly incorrect. The client server model has nothing to do with the architecture of a network, but is a model for Application Layer service delivery over any architecture of IP network.
