The client is called _____ in 2 tier architecture.
The client is called fat client in 2 tier architecture.
A fat client is a computer (client), in client–server architecture or networks, that typically provides rich functionality independent of the central server.
A fat client still requires at least periodic connection to a network or central server, but is often characterized by the ability to perform many functions without that connection.
In two-tier architecture, client and server have to come in direct incorporation. If a client is giving an input to the server there shouldn’t be any intermediate. This is done for rapid results and to avoid confusion between different clients. For instance, online ticket reservations software use this two-tier architecture.
