LAN stands for local area network and is normally a group of computers that share a common communications line typically, connected devices share the resources of a single processor or server within a small area such as an office. A LAN may serve as few as two or three users such as in a home network or as many as thousands of users such as a FDDI network. WAN A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a communication network made up of computers that are far away from each other. The most common example of

communication, resource sharing and information sharing. As per ISO standards, a network is divided into seven different layers: 1. Physical Layer: It is the lower most layer in OSI model, its purpose is transmission of data between the two system. 2. Data link layer: It connects the data from one system to the other by using a protocol of when to send the data over medium. 3. Network layer: It is used for routing, addressing and finding best route to transmit. 4. Transport layer: It holds all the problems

topology of the network and to detect failing links. Bridging control protocols may be used similarly in smaller networks or may be used in combination with routing.” Higginson & Shand (1997). Bridge and routers are applied in computer networking as they both connect two or more interrelated Local Area Networks (LAN) therefore creating an extension of the Local Area Network or a Wide Area Network. Bridges operates on MAC layer addresses and at the data link layer of the Open System Interconnection (OSI)

1. Case Study It’s a project on WAN network design for a company which is five year old and have multiple branches. It’s a IT& Electronics company located in Auckland named eServe. I am working for this company from last six months as a IT technician. The company have multiple branches in other cities as well. They provide software and hardware related services to their clients and mainly concern with apple (Mac Book, iMac, phone) products. The company have three branches in wellington, Christchurch

On a hot summer day, one place people like to go is the pool. The hot sun beating down on your skin. There’s no better way to cool off than in a refreshing pool. Some days may seem crowded with people, but going to the Wilber Municipal Pool is more than just cooling off, it’s a break away. According to the Wilber Area Chamber of Commerce website, Wilber Municipal Pool opened up in 2004 and is located on South Wilson Street. The Pool is open daily from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm, with a family hour from

Introduction With the Internet, users have been able to access information faster than ever. Today, users have the ability to utilize cloud technologies to access information and services. Users no longer have to rely on the processing power of their personal computer (PC) to complete task or limit the ability of accessing pictures or document to a physical location such as their hard drive on their PC. The Internet is a large network that is continues to provide more services and opportunities

"_ENREF_2" o "Nakayashiki, 1995 #32" Nakayashiki, Kashio, & Harakawa, 1995). A MAC address is a 12 digit hexadecimal number assigned to network hardware to allow for communication on the network. In network functionality, MAC addresses are used at the data link layer, which in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is layer 2. The MAC address for a specific hardware does not change, and it follows the network hardware. In a network stack, MAC addresses support the hardware implementation. The

Problem Scenario 2: Network Architecture The wireless local area network diagram uses a combination of three different topologies. The topologies represented are Ring, Star, and Mesh. The first topology represented is the Ring topology. A ring topology is a network in which all traffic moves in only one direction because of this the speed is faster than some other topologies, even as network traffic increases. Due to the configuration of a ring topology the resources of the network are available

and specifications that are used to transport packets from the host across a network, the host specified by a network address (IP address) The Link layer The lower level layer of the TCP/IP model, this layer is used by a suite of protocols for the “Internet”. This is used to connect hosts or nodes to a network. This layer is compared to the “Data Link” layer and “Physical “ layer of the OSI model. TCP/IP Application Layer VS OSI Application, Presentation and Session layer. The similarities in

NVIDIA Titan X Graphics Card Nicholas Mosceo 0299831 MIT311 System Configuration II Computer Systems Technology 12/02/2016 Introduction The NVIDIA Titan X belongs to the GeForce 900 Series of graphics cards developed by NVIDIA. It is also placed in the “Enthusiast” category of graphical processing units, which indicates that it is mainly used in very high performance personal computers. Graphics cards in this category are placed there because they
