Consider the circuit-switched network in Figure 1.13. Recall that there are 4
circuits on each link. Label the four switches A, B, C and D, going in the
clockwise direction.
a. What is the maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be in
progress at any one time in this network?
b. Suppose that all connections are between switches A and C. What is the
maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be in progress?
c. Suppose we want to make four connections between switches A and C,
and another four connections between switches B and D. Can we route
these calls through the four links to accommodate all eight connections?

By capturing and analysing network packets, security professionals can detect anomalies, diagnose issues, and identify potential security threats, such as unauthorised access, malware, or data exfiltration. Discuss the role of packet capture and analysis in network security. Explain how packet capture tools are used to monitor, diagnose, and protect networks from security threats. Additionally, explore the ethical considerations and potential legal implications associated with the use of packet capture in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity operations.arrow_forwardHigh Incidence of Pressure Injuries Due to Delayed Risk Identification: The unit currently relies on manual assessments and paper-based documentation to identify patients at risk of pressure injuries.

- CS311 Programming Assignment 2 Total points: 10 This assignment is based on the linked list data structure from assignment 1. You must have a working LinkedList data structure. We will implement the following two functions on input linked lists: Union Linked Lists Assume two linked lists that represent Set A and Set B respectively. Implement the following function to obtain their union A U B and return the result as a new linked list. Note that a Set should not contain duplicate elements (e.g., integers), but its elements are not assumed to be sorted in the list. The definition of the function unionLinkedList is as the following: LinkedList unionLinkedList (const LinkedList& LA, const LinkedList& LB) For example, if LA = (3, 5, 8, 11) LB = (2, 6, 8, 9, 22, 24) Then unionLinkedList(LA, LB) = (3, 5, 8, 11, 2, 6, 9, 22, 24). Note the list isn’t sorted. To compute the union operation, you need to implement the LinkedList search function to check whether a value is in the list…arrow_forwardIn this assignment, you will complete the implementation of a class of single linked list. The LinkedList class is defined in the "linkedlist.h" header file. Don't change the interface in the header except for adding comments, as the test programs use the LinkedList interface. Complete the implementation of the data structrure in the "linkedlist.cpp" file, and add sufficient comments. You must complete the TODOs in "linkedlist.h" and "linkedlist.cpp". Delete "TODO" after you are done. The LinkedList data structure is also used in the next a few programming assignments. So it's crucial to get it working correctly. Please see the instructor if you need help. LinkedList The LinkedList data structure should implement the following member functions: Default constructor: it constructs an empty linked list. Destructor: make sure the destructor releases all dynamically allocate memory. We will check for memory leak.

It started inside an old library building, but over time, more people got involved and now it’s a real hub for creativity in the neighborhood. People come to The Nest to learn how to sew, build things with wood, use 3D printers, and even learn coding or robotics. It brings together students, artists, parents, retired engineers, and people just looking to try something new. The energy is great, but the behind-the-scenes organization is kind of a mess. Most things are tracked through notes, emails, or just memory. This project is about building a database that will help everything run more smoothly. The first thing the database will organize is the people involved. There will be one main list of users, but with different roles like learners, volunteers,…arrow_forward
