A company has two locations: a headquarters and a factory about 25 km away. Inc factory has four 300-bps terminals that communicate with the central computer facil- ities over leased voice-grade lines. The company is considering installing TDM equip- ment so that only one line will be needed. What cost factors should be considered in the decision?

After the front-office network at XYZ Corp. is set up, an accountant realizes that if the loading dock connected to the network, dock workers could log incoming and outgoing shipments and keep the inventory more current. Even though the loading dock is nowhere near the shop floor, the dock is 1100 feet from the front office. What kinds of cable will work to make this connection? What kind would you choose and why?
For over a decade, Ramanathan has been working as a network engineer in an MNC that uses FC (Fibre Channel) networking architecture. His primary duty is to ensure that there are no issues in the network connections between servers and SAN (storage area network) devices, so that maximum throughput is achieved at all times. Recently, one of the connections of the FC device to the network malfunctioned, which Ramanathan has to fix. Analyze which of the following Ramanathan should do in this scenario. a. Use NICs to connect the FC devices to the network b. Use the iSCSI protocol c. Install CNAs to connect to network servers d. Connect the FC devices to the network through HBAs Which of the following planes is made up of the physical or virtual devices that receive and send network messages on their way to their destinations? a. The control plane b. The management plane c. The application plane d. The infrastructure plane Which…
The throughput of the link between the core switch and an employee laptop with 268,535,446 bits of data transmitted through a link in 1,810.80 seconds was calculated by an Omantel network engineer. Using the example above, respond to the following questions: Describe the principle of effective bandwidth.
You are going to scheme a small wireless network consists of at least 2 Laptops and one network printer, beside of two subnets network that already exist consists of 4 PC’s on each one, and connect them together, to access the equipment that you have recommended in the previous task. Apply and execute all the necessary servers on a separated subnet.
A—XYZ Corp. is planning a new network. Engineers in the design shop must have connections to accountants and salespeople in the front office, but all routes between the two areas must traverse the shop floor, where arc welders and metal-stamping equipment create potent amounts of EMI and RFI. Given that both the design shop and front office use 10BaseT (twisted-pair Ethernet), how might you interconnect these two areas? What medium guarantees immunity from interference?
Old-Tech Corporation has 10 computers in its main office area, which is networked in a star topology using 10 Mbps Ethernet hubs, and wants to add five computers in the manufacturing area. One problem with the existing network is data throughput. Large files are transferred across the network regularly, and the transfers take quite a while. In addition, when two or more computers are transferring large files, the network becomes unbearably slow for users. Adding the manufacturing computers will only make this problem worse and result in another problem. Because the ceiling is more than 30 feet high, there is no easy way to run cables to computers, and providing a secure pathway for cables is next to impossible. .(from: Greg Tosho,Ed Tittel, David Johnson.

How would you write a system of linear equations based on the given scenario and directions? Scenario You are employed as a network engineer and have been asked to analyze a communication network to determine the current data rates and ensure that the links aren’t at risk of “reaching capacity.” In the following figure of the network, the sender is transmitting data at a total rate of 100+50 = 150 megabits per second (Mbps). The data is transmitted from the sender to the receiver over a network of five different routers. These routers are labeled A, B, C, D, and E. The connections and data rates between the routers are labeled as x1,x2, x3, x4, and x5 . Directions For this assignment, you will analyze the communication network and solve for the unknown data rates using a variety of techniques. The system can be modeled mathematically as a system of linear equations by writing an equation for each node/router in the network. Each of these equations can be written by noting that the sum…
A Telecom operator has been assigned the bandwidth from 2100MHZ to 2105MHz, this can support 100 voice channels and 6 users per channel. Assume there is a guard band of 10KHz then what will be the size of a single channel? And how many total number of users could be accommodated?

A.The University of Zotto wants to upgrade its network so that the dean of the university can deliver important information related to students and teachers directly to the campus monitors located in the vicinity. The university has hired a firm named Internet Solutions for this purpose. The firm has come up with a solution where it will use a central receiver to distribute video signals to multiple monitors within a building. However, the firm is still not sure about the kind of cables it will be using as the allocated budget is not extensive. Analyze which of the following should be ideal in such a scenario. 1.RG-59 cables 2.Category 3 cables 3.RG-6 cables 4.Fiber-optic cables
In an 802.11b wireless LAN, suppose there are only two nodes, a source and a destination; the source node has a large amount of data to send to the destination node. The nodes are separated by 750 meters, and have powerful enough radios to communicate at this range. No other nodes operate in the area. Assume the following: Signal propagation speed is 3×108 meters/sec. DIFS, which is the first component of delay between noticing the medium being idle and beginning a new RTS transmission, is 50msec. The backoff time, which is the additional delay right after DIFS in case the source has additional packages to send, is chosen randomly for each packet. When there is no contention, it is uniformly likely to be anywhere from 0 to 31 slots long, where one slot is 20msec. SIFS has a value of 10msec. The frame header bits take a 200msec per packet to transmit; the Data field consists of 1100 bytes. Data is transmitted at an 11 Mbps rate. An ACK, RTS, and CTS each have a 200msec transmission…
