...centers in: San Francisco, Detroit, Paris, Tokyo and Sao Paulo and sales offices in: Washington, Indianapolis, Tampa and Liverpool, will each have their own Local Area Network (LAN) setup. These LAN’s will be designed to best facilitate their intranet needs and will have the inclusion of internet access. Each site will include switches and routers with other networked devices and will be designed off Star topology. The Star Topology is a common network configuration in which workstations and other network devices connect to a single point called the hub. (Exforsys, 2008) We will be installing Fiber optic cabling in all the main building design centers including San Francisco, Detroit, Paris, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo. The rest of the sales offices be taken into consideration since there are plans of opening other sale offices as the business continues to grow. The fiber optic will run from the backbone cabling, vertical cabling, and horizontal cabling. It will run to the telecommunication closet connecting to the switches. The fiber optic cabling will help provide the necessary speed for all the workstations and expansion for future growth. The connections from device to device will be done through a Layer 3 switches. A layer 3 switch is a high performance device that differs very little from routers. The layer 3 switch has the same IP routing table for lookups and it forms a broadcast domain. (Davis, 2007) But unlike routers, layer 3 switches typically do not possess Wide Area...

...device that joins multiple computers together within one local area network (LAN). Ethernet switch devices were commonly used on home networks before home routers became popular; broadband routers integrate Ethernet switches directly into the unit as one of their many functions. High-performance network switches are still widely used in corporate networks and data centers. Advantages Switches have increased available network bandwidth. There is reduced workload on individual computers. Increased network performance. There are fewer packet collisions. And some disadvantages are: They are significantly more expensive. Network problems can be difficult to trace through a switch. Broadcast traffic. Below is a diagram showing how switchg/hub are interconnected in a network A hub is a device for connecting machines into a network. It is a non-intelligent connection but tends to be very cheap. It allows all machines to send packets to every machine connected and wait for the required machine to reply. This causes delays as all the ports are used for every transmission. A network switch is the more recent method. This has intelligence and remembers which machines are connected to each port, so it passes any transmission straight to the correct port. This reduces collisions on the network when it is busy and is therefore much faster. It is more expensive, although nowadays there is very little difference in price. A repeater connects two segments of your network...

...Deconstructing the Web: How Internet Infrastructure Works Fifty years ago nobody could ever have fathomed the ways in which our world are connected with each other in the year 2010. It is only in the last twenty to thirty years that the world has really become connected through one of the most life changing inventions ever: the internet. From humble beginnings connecting only a few computers to now connecting billions, the internet has changed the way in which people receive and send information to one another. Businesses can communicate with foreign offices, students now have an immense digital library of knowledge at their fingertips, networking and staying in touch with friends and family is much easier, and being able to send and receive things such as emails in an instant are just a few of the things which make the internet such a commodity in the world in which we live. While it is a part of our everyday life, few seldom stop to think about what all it takes to make such a process even possible without it going crazy and people getting things they don’t need. Over the years the internet has went from slow to faster than you can blink almost due to computer engineers coming up with more and more ways to improve the system. Here the focus will be on a bit of the back history of the infrastructure of the internet but also the basics of how it works and all the bits and pieces it takes to connect the web of computers and information across the world. The internet first came into being...

AT&T is the carrier providing service to the existing campus as well as the new campus. Examine the offerings for Internet access to select the one that should be used. (10 points) Since there are multiple locations that require large amounts of bandwidth I would recommend the site connect to the internet through Fiber optics. I recommend fiber because of the high demand for bandwidth with today's technology. Fiber also has a very high tolerance for external interference. AT&T currently offers a high speed fiber network that would fit perfectly in this environment. 2. How should the existing and new campus locations be connected to each other? (10 points) When connecting the 2 campuses together I would definitely recommend running a private link between the 2. You would typically be ISDN, frame relay or Ethernet, depending on the distance, amount of speed required, and the amount of money you want to spend. 3. Should the two locations share an Internet connection? (10 points) Since there will be a lot of traffic on the network I would recommend each site connect to the internet separately. 4.

...and more over, most of the families didn’t need or afford more than one computer. But, Now the computers at home are not just being used for e-mail but also using for school works, shopping , music, downloading and for playing games. Hence, for many families one computer is no longer enough to go around. As having multiple computers at home, home network is being a necessity. Home network is a method of allowing two computers to communicate with each other. This network allows to share files, documents, Internet connection , printers and scanners etc. To connect the two computers, network card in each computer and a cable is needed. The most commonly used cable is Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. Connecting two computers directly with the cable: Ethernet Cable using a Router: This is the most commonly used network cable for wired network at home. This cable connects the wired devices together to the local network for sharing the files and to access the internet. For the Ethernet connection, the Ethernet router and cable are physically connected between each computer and the router. This is inexpensive and it works well if all the computers, routers and cable modem are located in a close area. Ethernet cable transfers the data traffic at high speed. These are required for setting up the connection: 1. Router 2. Network interface card (NIC) in each computer 3.
