  • Kudler Fine Foods Network Review and Proposal Essay

    ...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 servers, workstations, standalone UPS and a 56k modem which are connected to an Ethernet backbone. Bus networks are difficult to troubleshoot because if the backbone goes down then every piece of hardware on the wire is affected. If one user is sending a signal on the network simultaneous to another user, the signals will collide causing a drop to both signals. These networks usually will be in a listening state to ensure no others are sending packets at the same time, this type of collision detection is called, carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD)....

  • Benefits of a Hierarchical Network Essay

    ...Benefits of a Hierarchical Network There are many benefits associated with hierarchical network designs. Scalability Hierarchical networks scale very well. The modularity of the design allows you to replicate design elements as the network grows. Because each instance of the module is consistent, expansion is easy to plan and implement. For example, if your design model consists of two distribution layer switches for every 10 access layer switches, you can continue to add access layer switches until you have 10 access layer switches cross-connected to the two distribution layer switches before you need to add additional distribution layer switches to the network topology. Also, as you add more distribution layer switches to accommodate the load from the access layer switches, you can add additional core layer switches to handle the additional load on the core.  Redundancy  As a network grows, availability becomes more important. You can dramatically increase availability through easy redundant implementations with hierarchical networks. Access layer switches are connected to two different distribution layer switches to ensure path redundancy. If one of the distribution layer switches fails, the access layer switch can switch to the other distribution layer switch. Additionally, distribution layer switches are connected to two or more core layer...

  • Ethernet: Duplex and Network Essay

    ...engineering and software has paved a way for the advancement of communication, industry, and our lives in general through technological advancements. Just as the utilization of fire and carving of the wheel gave us advantages over the perils of life, the networking of computers has brought an unreachable far off world closer to each and every one of us. First and foremost we are now able to nearly instantaneously share information with an unreachable world. The engineering that made this possible began not on some other planet, or from the depths of a holy shrine. But from the ingenuity of a partnership of companies that sought to find a reasonable (and soon profitable) solution to the proprietary incompatibility of emerging information system networks. Although the networking of our information systems has many different areas for study, this paper is about Ethernet. In it, I will discuss the basic components of an Ethernet connection. How they work and how they don't. The Ethernet connection was invented in the 1970's by the big corporations of the day; Intel, IBM, and Digital equipment. They worked together to develop a standard that would allow all computers to communicate with one another, rather than just their own kind. In the beginning there were many different systems coming out onto the market. With each emerging technology that hits our markets at first you have one controlling proprietor with an exuberant price tag to go with it....

  • Computer Networks Manual Essay

    ...the network. Most common hubs interconnect Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 ends, although Coax BNC and Fiber Optic BNC hubs also exist. Ethernet Hubs An Ethernet hub is also called a multiport repeater. A repeater is a device that amplifies a signal as it passes through it, to counteract the effects of attenuation. Multistation Access Unit A Multistation Access Unit (MAU) is a special type of hub used for token ring networks. Switches Switches are a special type of hub that offers an additional layer of intelligence to basic, physical-layer repeater hubs. A switch must be able to read the MAC address of each frame it receives. This information allows switches to repeat incoming data frames only to the computer or computers to which a frame is addressed. This speeds up the network and reduces congestion Bridges A bridge is used to join two network segments together, it allows computers on either segment to access resources on the other. They can also be used to divide large networks into smaller segments. Routers Routers are networking devices used to extend or segment networks by forwarding packets from one logical network to another. Routers are most often used in large internetworks that use the TCP/IP protocol suite and for connecting TCP/IP hosts and local area networks (LANs) to the Internet using dedicated leased lines...

    ...communication devices NETWORKS: A network is a set of devices connected by a media link. Devices often referred to as nodes can be a computer, printer, or any other devices capable of sending/ receiving data. Distributed processing: Here tasks are divided among multiple computers. Each separate computer handles a subset. Advantages: 1. Security/ Encapsulation 2. Distributed database 3. Faster problem solving 4. Security through redundancy 5. Collaborative processing Network Criteria: A network must meet a number of criteria to be considered as effective and efficient. The criteria are, 1. Performance 2. Reliability 3. Security 1. Performance: The performance can be measured by two times are, I. Transit time II. Response time I. Transit time: It is the amount of time required for a message to travel from one device to another device. II. Response time: It is the elapsed time between an inquiry and a response. The performance can be measured by number factors are, The factors are, i. Number of user ii. Type of transition medium iii. Hardware iv. Software i.

    ...CIS 532 Network Architecture and Analysis Professor Edwin Otto Strayer University July 6, 2013 Prepare an opening statement that specifies your organization’s capabilities to manage a deployment of this size. We would like to take this time to introduce our company Interchange Network Design (IND). We are a multi-million dollar network design company that has the capabilities of handling small to large size network build outs and our specialty is Internetworking of networks on a medium to large scale. We have just finished the merging networks between (XOBNI, 2013) and (Yahoo, 2013). The interconnecting of the networks made it easier for the two companies to communicate via use of Intranet and Instant Real-time Messaging. Xobni also has a strong platform when it comes to using its email service and merging Yahoo networks with this was a very huge challenge for us to accomplish. Our company designs state of the art networks with the latest technologies that fit your organizations budget. We pride ourselves in security, prevention and education.
