REQUIRED READING: Students are required to read all materials available at the rEsource site for this course on http://mycampus.uophx.edu.

You will discover different network topologies and different types of networks: LANs, WANs, and internetworks (internets). The concept of switching is discussed to show how small networks can be combined to create larger ones. You will learn about the Internet: its early history, the birth of the Internet, and the issues related to the Internet today. This module covers standards and standards organizations.

During this section of my blog you would be able to view all the different types of typical services provided by networks and the purpose of each where I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of them all.

There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.

NOTE: Please write your answers to each question in a different color font to make this easier for the Professor to grade.

This assignment will be mainly about network components and how do they operate, what are their functions and what are their flaws.

3. How is census information used to determine how the government should allocate funds to existing programs or to develop new programs?

Task 1: Describe the data communication types used historically and the developments that have led to modern day Local Area Networks (LANs). Detail any emerging technologies and where you think data communications are likely to be in ten year’s time.

12. A TCP/IP network includes an Ethernet LAN with 10 PCs uses a LAN switch. PC1 sends data intended for an app running on PC2. Which of the following mechanisms does Ethernet define so that PC2 receives and processes the data? A)The Ethernet header lists PC2’s MAC address so that PC2 will realize that the data is meant for PC2.

In keeping up with DesignIT requirement and expectations the LAN is expected to operate at 99.9% uptime and an undiscovered error rate of 0.01%.

The research method we used was the internet and it provided us with relevant, interesting information. When we started our research we wanted to focus on the history of DSL, dial-up, Broadband, and fiber optics. Starting with dial-up, it was created in 1962 by Bell with speeds reaching 300 bits per second. dial-up evolved over years into standard 56k modem in about 1996 by Dr. Brent Townshend. Next, DSL was invented in 1988 by Bellcore, DSL was revolutionary because it proved that data and phone could be sent at the same time using the same line. The next is Broadband it was created in 1996 by Roger Communications. Broadband is currently the most widely used way to transport data. It was used in 70% of homes in the US. Last we talked about the history of fiber

Topology: The current network was able to mix different speeds to match departmental needs. The physical topology in use is linear bus topology which also translates to a logical bus topology. The cable in use being Thicknet gives extended length allowance which is 500meters for a given segment and 2500 meters total cable

The ability to send and receive data efficiently is the most important objective of networking computers.

The fact that during the beginning of this century many developments occurred both with the internet and with telephony must be considered. The major developments were the availability of the internet on small machines like the mobile, PDA and
