How much of the modern internet based on client server architecture?

Question

I have checked google, didn't find any feasible answer. There are more than 3.5 billion internet users in this world, I want to know how much of these users using the client-server model of the internet.

The Internet is based on IP, which is a network-layer protocol. There are no clients or servers at the network layer. Even transport layer protocols do not have clients or servers. The client/server concept is an application-layer concept. — Ron Maupin, Dec 09 '17 at 14:31

73.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot. That seems like a reasonable figure too.

The vast majority is client server.

Cisco Visual Networking Index estimates in 2016 that there were was 96,054 PB per month global IP traffic, of which 5,376 PB per month, or about 6%, is peer to peer file sharing. Transfer is not a device count, but really when do you ever use a peer to peer architecture on a mobile device?

Within an application there might be varying approaches to connectivity like a message bus, but the end user probably uses some kind of client server model.
