...06/29/2015 Importance of Communication Protocols Communications protocols are a very important communication capability. Communications protocols allow two systems or more to communicate effectively and to pass data over a network and between different communication devices. Communication protocols allows for the process of breaking data down into tiny packets that are the encrypted and signed by the sending device. Each of these packets are sent individually to cut down on errors. If any errors occur, instead of resending the whole line of data it is only necessary to send that specific packet to complete the transfer. Communications protocols also allow you to have secure and private communications when transferring data. Each packet we previously discussed has a header imbedded in its data that signifies where it is going. It will then only open on the device it has been addressed to. Also if someone were to intercept one of your packages it is still not the whole transfer since all the data is sent separately in smaller packages and they wouldn’t receive the full data transfer. There are many different kinds of protocols that govern how computers interact with each other through the internet and govern how they communicate most effectively. Common communication protocols include everything from how the data is secure to how the packets are structured and sent. Identifying Protocols/Network Architecture The links of communication and how they will be realized...

...Communication Protocols Communication is defined as the exchanging of information or news. Protocol, for all intents and purposes, means an official way or agreed upon procedure or standards to accomplish a task. In this case, it would be rules to help transmit data. In networking, there are various protocols needed to make transmission of data easier. In today’s fast paced environment, the standards of information sharing are increasing exponentially. Adhering to the standards are also becoming more important than before. Design Kudler Fine Foods is dedicated to ensuring that the customer information in their possession remains secure from unapproved access. Securing their network is one of the highest priorities for Kudler. Since the new enterprise network will be integrating a wide area network to connect all the sites, which will have their own individual wireless local networks. Choosing the correct communication protocol stack is vital to the security and availability of both the WAN and WLAN network. In...

...Kudler Fine Foods Network One of the considered “best fine food stores” around is the Kudler Fine Foods. However, Kudler is in serious need of a network infrastructure upgrade of their old one. To introduce the latest technologies in data collection, company communication, and information protection while providing the best data speeds and network access are the main goals of the enterprise network. This huge step is significant as this will increase the revenue and will reduce the costs of operation throughout the Kudler Fine Foods stores. Kudler Fine Foods will go back up to technological speed as the network upgrade is completed, while at the same time improving the way they keep track of inventory and sales by using data mining techniques, which will be collected and analyzed in real time. Network Overview The review of the current network used at Kudler Fine Foods was able to determine that the network topology that is being used is the bus topology. The bus network is set-up in such a way that all the network components are connected via CAT5 to the bus or communication line. This configuration is true at sites in the corporation for their workstations, servers, and standalone UPS. A 56k modem is the device that is used by all of the networks communicating to the internet. Although the bus network is very reasonable when it comes to cost, the downfall is that when the backbone goes down, the entire network can encounter an outage that is very difficult to troubleshoot...

...In order to determine the requirements for the new Kudler Fine Foods network design, it is important to understand the importance of communication protocols and define the protocols that would be most effective for the Kudler Fine Foods network. Understanding the usefulness of a traffic analysis and the effect of latency response time and jitter are also necessary. Other aspects of developing an effective network design are understanding the effect of data rate on each part of the network and developing strategies to ensure the availability of network access in switched and routed networks. Communication protocols are the pre-defined set of rules which enable the networked devices to communicate effectively with each other. These protocols determine how messages are sent and received, detect and recover transmission errors and determine how messages are formatted. These protocols are important because they define the guidelines which determine how computers communicate with each other in a standardized manner. The protocol identified for Kudler Fine Foods is the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Protocol Suite. There are many advantages to using this protocol. It is compatible with all operating systems, hardware, software and network configurations. This protocol is routable and highly scalable which enables expansion of the network as needed. It also provides very reliable data delivery. The Suite includes protocols such as Hypertext Transfer...

...KFF Week 3 Pt 2 Sean Rachubka NTC/362 KFF Week 3 Pt 2 When it comes to communications between devices, there is a requirement in which the devices will agree on the format of the data being used. Communications protocols must adhere to the following; the rate of transmission either in baud or bps. The transmission is to be synchronous or asynchronous. Also, the data is to be transmitted in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Baud transmission is the number of signaling elements that occur each second. At slower speeds, only 1 bit of information is encoded in each electrical change. When saying 1500 baud, it means that 1500 bits are transmitted each second, this is also shown as 1500bps. Communication protocols can also describe the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of analog and digital communications. Communications protocols are implemented in hardware and software. There are thousands of communications protocols that are used everywhere in analog and digital communications. Computer networks cannot exist without them. With KFF, being that the Home Office or Headquarters is located in La Jolla, there is a T3 dedicated line that connects HQ with Del Mar and Encinitas locations. These lines are usually rented at a monthly or yearly rate to connect geographically separate offices for private voice and or data networking. It is also very costly averaging over $3000 USD per month, so most don’t lease these lines. They are also reserved circuits that operate over either copper...

...Integrative Network Design Project (INDP) Part 2 NTC/362 May 12, 2014 Fernando Casafranca INDP, Part 2 Protocols have a significant impact to ensure a network works properly. It is important to understand what is meant by communication protocols and what may be required for the upgrade design for Patton-Fuller’s network. The Internet has protocols designed for its use and these protocols will integrate into the new system. A small portion of the network architecture is discussed as it fits these new requirements. The increase in network traffic will have an impact and will drive the need for an analysis. Problems and limitations will become clear as long as the analysis concentrates on certain areas. Implementing certain strategies will mitigate the effects the analysis will uncover. * Communication Protocols The conceptual framework should already be present with the current Cisco switches and routers already used in the IT data center. The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol model is a standard seven layer framework utilized by the industry. These protocols are important because they establish the communication rules.

...The importance of communication protocols: Unless Patton Fuller Community Hospital has an agreement between the two communicating parties information may get lost or un-communicated. This agreement is called the protocol. Communications protocols usually have a number of parts, Handshake, encoding method, compressions methods, packet / frame structure, and addressing.. This is why protocols are often defined by standards bodies, but some protocols SSL can be used widely even though they are not specifically from a standards body. A protocol must be implemented to enable effective, efficient communication by using a set of rules. Protocols are also described as hardware or software components that carry out the OSI model guidelines for transferring information on a network In short - if we don't have a protocol we won't be able to communicate between different devices.

Along with the Wide Area Network to connect the locations to the Corporate Headquarters of Riordan Manufacturing, each location has its own Local Area Network (LAN). Network Architecture. The topology of the networks varies from site to site. The network of the Corporate Headquarters and the location in China both use a bus topology in both networks there is a single 100BaseT line that is either connected to a server or an interface device. The other two site Albany, Georgia and Pontiac, Michigan both use what seems to be a partial mesh topology or a hybrid topology. The servers on these networks are all connected together , the interface devices are connected to the server, and the clients and printers are then connected to only the interface devices. All of the locations have their own local area network which is connected to the Corporate Headquarter though a point to point connection which is a star topology.

...The importance of communication protocols: Communication Protocols is the wire that connects the two cans. Simply put, it is an agreement between the communicating parties ensuring the packeted information reaches its final destination undisturbed. There is normally a set of procedures that enables this success. Handshaking (dialing out), encoding method (receiving information), compressions methods, packet structure, and addressing (converts the language of 1’s and 0’s into a readable language). Based on these procedures protocols are often defined by standards bodies. A protocol must be flawlessly designed in order to ensure efficient communication. Protocols are also described as hardware or software components that carry out the OSI model guidelines for transferring information on a network. Kudler Fine Foods intends to use Internet Protocol (IP) over a wide area network to perform all day to day duties.
