Question 1:- Compare and contrast wired and wireless LANs. What unique concerns must be addressed by the designer of a wireless networks. Answer 1:- Introduction: LAN is a local Area Network and a computer network covering a small physical area‚ like a home‚ office‚ restaurant or small group of buildings‚ such as a school‚ a college or an airport. Although a LAN can be used as an isolated network to connect computers in an organization for the sole purpose of sharing resources‚ most LANs today

Evolution of Ethernet by: Yolanda Castro IS3120 Instructor: Mr. Thompson October 2‚ 2012 Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). Ethernet was introduced to the commercial marketplace in 1980‚ and has replaced other LAN technologies. It’s a baseband LAN specification invented by Xerox Corporation that operates at 10Mbps using carrier sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/CD) to run over coaxial cable. Ethernet was designed to serve

FIBER TO THE HOME: THE NEW EMPOWERMENT abstract: In order to offer future higher bandwidth applications‚ the choice for a fiber to the home (FTTH) network seems to be the best candidate. Still‚ as the full deployment of a new FTTH network involves tremendous civil works and costs‚ only the highly profitable areas‚ e.g. city centers‚ are currently being installed. With the installation of such FTTH networks‚ all involved parties stay with many questions. What will the future bring on demands from

A Complete Home Network Introduction When establishing a home network it is important that you evaluate the needs you have for all of the users in your household as well as backup options and how we will connect to the network and the security of your network. I will be looking at developing such a network for my home using the given budget of $1‚000 and explain why my choices will meet my networking needs as well as looking to see what changes could be made over time if given a larger budget

Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack is mounted with the objective of causing a negative impact on the performance of a computer or network. It is also known as network saturation attack or bandwidth consumption attack. Attackers make DoS attacks by sending a large number of protocol packets to a network. The problems caused by a DoS attack are as follows: * Saturate network resources. * Disrupt connections between two computers‚ thereby preventing communications between services. * Disrupt services
