Introduction
Kudler Fine is evaluating their current network and creating a logical design document that will show what needs to be done to upgrade or install a new network system to meet the goals set out to achieve. The list of goals presented by Kudler management is as follows:
 Faster Checkout Response
 Collect Customer Data
 Track Customer Data and Purchases
 Ensure the security of their customers personal data
Review of Current Network
The current network is a fairly early design called an Ethernet Bus network. A bus network Topology is an architecture in which a set of clients are connected via a shared communications line, called a bus. Each of the 3 sites utilizes the same configuration of

Reliability and Uptime
Network reliability is the ability of a network to maintain or restore an acceptable level of performance during network failures by application various restoration techniques and prevention of service outages from network failures by applying preventative techniques. (Network Survivability, 2001). Computing the reliability of a network is quite difficult; therefore estimation by means of simulation is a popular choice for determining network reliability.
System Response Time
System response time is the interval between the instant a request is entered which requires a response from a remote networked node and the instant that response is received. Most of the network nodes on the system are Pentium II PC's with Windows 98 operating systems. There is one Pentium III Windows NT server located at Del Mar and La Jolla. Del Mar and La Jolla employ the use of one print server at each location, while the Encinitas location does not.
The 56K modem between sites severely impacts the system response time for Kudler's network nodes. Information that is traveling across sites at that low of a speed means that response times are going to be rather lengthy. The
The network consists hardware and software components and other components to keep the company safe. A common network that Jay’s company will need are routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, SANs, and Domain Name System (DNS). The router and switches will allow the systems to communicate. Jay needs to ensure that the routers have spare capacity after the deployment to cope with projected growth and usage. The switches will connect to the system within the network. Both running at capacity tend to induce escalating bottlenecks. This will affect how long it takes for the clients to submit messages to the servers on different networks, Jay needs to make sure he is up to date with the router and switch because it can cost greatly if he does not.
After reviewing the Kudler Fine Food network, a major network overhaul will need to bring the network up to par with the latest technology. If Kudler Fine Foods is not able to upgrade their systems then they will fall behind the technological curve and will not be able to compete with other companies. Kudler needs to do the upgrade not only to keep up with the advances with network systems but needs to install the proper systems to increase profits. If Kudler does not do constant upgrades then they will be forced to pay a larger amount for the larger upgrades in the future. It is vital to install the proper systems that will have the longevity and the capability for future network expansion without having to spend money on unnecessary upgrades.
Kudler Fine Foods demonstrates compassion for the environment and its surrounding community. The company engages in the area food bank through contribution of its “day-old perishables” to the less fortunate. Kudler Fine Foods is an advocate of nonprofit groups and a supporter of local events. Kudler Fine Foods’ actively supports the art of “organic farming” because natural grown fruits and vegetables help in the protection of the environment. Kudler Fine Foods maintains its commitment toward continuing excellent relationships between its suppliers. The Kudler Company has meetings with each of its suppliers periodically to ensure the working relationship remains valuable toward both parties. Finally, Kudler
Kudler Fine Foods has continued to grow and is now poised to make significant internal changes to increase revenue and customer satisfaction. Kudler Fine Foods is a gourmet grocery store and recent market surveys have shown they have continued to exceed customer 's satisfaction in every area except one: the cost of merchandise. By exploring ways to reduce costs Kudler Fine Foods will experience an increase in customer satisfaction.

Kudler Fine Foods and it creation employs the modern technology in its best form. Kudler Fine Food implement steps in its strategic management process and able to identify what makes the organization have a sustained superior performance. For every decision employed at Kudler Fine Food, the external and internal environment data are used to determine the organization 's strategic intent, mission and its core
Kathy Kudler discovered a way to cope with the stress in her life by preparing gourmet meals and shopping for gourmet items. With no upscale gourmet food stores in her area she decided to open her own. She left her very successful day job and started a chain of Kudler Fine Food Stores. Kudler Fine Foods is an upscale store with three locations in the San Diego area, each in high-end shopping centers. The stores offer a fine selection of baked goods, pastries, fresh produce, meats, seafood, packaged goods, cheeses, and other specialty items. All items are made to order and baked goods and pastries are prepared on site. They offer over a

The scope for network performance verification is required from the fact that the network supports of guaranteed performance. In the case of a network providing connections without a guaranteed performance, the scope for network performance verification and performance management in general is limited to performance monitoring. The scope of this paper is as follows
There are various options for connection of the RNC site to the rest of the operator’s network. In this study only the IP related options shall be studied, thus the only considered scenarios are layer 3 (routed, IP based) and layer 2 (switched, Ethernet) transport.
The Modern Mouldings current wired infrastructure will be appraised based on the following qualities. Speed, Topology, Scalability, Cost, Reliability and Availability.
These graphs show a bimodal distribution where we can see significant latency reductions (peaks around 95% to 100%) or little to no reduction (peak at around 0%). Thus for these models a web request can see a significant latency reduction or little or no reduction.
In an ever-evolving world , people come up with new idea each day , some of them are in the field of robotics , some in computer security and some are in computer networks. Well the Network industry has risen up and been on a peak ever since 2008 , with new technologies coming by every year , but they had to slow the roll down of such innovations in the field just to make the previous technology have a good life span and make devices adapt to a certain technology for a certain time .
Abstract: The Quality of service in general refers to capability to provide flawless, fast and consistent communication across the network. The factors that influence QoS are error rates, bandwidth, throughput, transmission delay, availability, jitter, etc. Any network must provide secure and reliable service and to achieve this it needs to consider the above factors. Hence we can say that the QoS of a network is a set of factors to efficiently use the resources of the network. I am using the above factors to measure the QoS of different networks and compare them.
