A centralized network in computational architecture is a network design in which one central computer or server manages and controls all the other computers or devices connected to the network. This central computer is responsible for all the routing and forwarding of data, as well as maintaining and controlling the network's security. In this architecture, all communication between devices is directed through the central server, which can lead to bottlenecks and slow down the network's performance. It is commonly used in small-scale networks or in environments where security is a critical concern.
