...NETW410, Professor’s Name Lab 4: Connecting Point A to Point B Lab Report 1. How should an Internet connection be made for the current campus? Why did you select this option over the others? 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) I think internet connection should be made using (DSL) and Broadband. I decided on this option because AT&T’s Digital Subscriber Line service (DSL) offers highly secure, high-speed, cost-effective business Internet connectivity over existing landlines without interrupting voice services. AT&T Broadband Internet Services Provides a single point of contact for business’ connectivity needs, access the Internet and Intranet, stream audio and video and transfer large amounts of data and provide access to remote workers. 2. How should the existing and new campus locations be connected to each other? (10 points) The Existing and new campus can use a fiber optic cabling in order to connect the two campuses. Fiber optic cables are less expensive, there is less signal degrading, non flammable and the best option compared to other competitors. On the other hand the campuses can request a static IP address through the internet provider. Through this the two campuses can connect on a network via WAN 3. Should the two locations share an Internet connection? (10 points) Yes, for this scenario...

...NETW410 Lab 4: Connecting Point A to Point B Lab Report 1. How should an Internet connection be made for the current campus? Why did you select this option over the others? 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. Compare the advantages, disadvantages, and cost of fiber optic cable, 5 GHz wireless bridges, and free space optics as a means to interconnect the campus buildings to the IT wing of the...

...application performance and capacity planning, by changing the link speed between a home LAN and its ISP. Overview OPNET’s IT Guru provides a Virtual Network Environment that models the behavior of networks, including its routers, switches, protocols, servers, and individual applications. The Virtual Network Environment allows IT managers, network and system planners, and operation’s staff to more effectively diagnose difficult problems, validate changes before they are implemented, and plan for future scenarios such as traffic growth and network failures. You can do “what if” analyses (called scenarios in IT Guru) on network designs, just as you can on spreadsheets with financial business models. However, instead of looking at “bottom line” financial numbers, you will be looking at how response times, latency (delays) and other network performance measures will change under different network design approaches. To create a network simulation (called a project in IT Guru), you specify the nodes (computers, switches, routers, etc.) in your network, the links between nodes, and the applications that will be running on the nodes. In this exercise, the initial simulation (project) has been built for you. It models a family’s ITCE 416: OPNET IT Guru Lab, Page 1 home PC network, which has three PCs connected to the Internet for game playing; web browsing, E-mail, audio streaming, and FTP (file transfer protocol).

...Oscaralexis Rodríguez Justiniano #54406 Report Connection speed simulations are of great help when determining the best type of connection for your use. There are different types of connections with different speeds and characteristics just as there are different types of users, both at home and at big corporations. The budget they posses is what will determine just how much of a top quality connection they can get. Download Speed = 20kbps Utilization averages about 80% for downloads and about 2% for uploads. The high utilization of 80% does not give much available bandwidth for potential new applications or users. The Response Time is in the range of 5 to 7.5 seconds, too much and too long. This slow connection can get overloaded quite easily and would be ideal for personal use in a home. Download Speed = 40kbps This connection offers twice the speed of the last connection. Its Utilization averages 42% for downloads and about 2% for uploads. It can be seen in the simulation that twice the speed can mean twice as much bandwidth, or as close as it can get to twice as much bandwidth. Even though there are better sources for higher bandwidth, this particular connection is a decent one for a low budget user. In terms of Response Time, this connection ranges from 2.0 to 2.5 seconds. That’s more than twice the response time seen in the 20kbps connection, meaning that this connection can still be overloaded, but will require a more stern use by an equally stern user. Download...

...Ch.6 Telecommunications, the internet and wireless technologies Components of a simple network: • NIC (Network Interface Card): to incorporate any laptop to an existing network. • NOS (Network Operating System): to share network resources & route communications on a LAN. • Hubs & switches help route traffic on a network to the right computing device. • Router: when 2 or more networks are connected to each other, it sends data transmissions to the correct device from the internet. Digital Networking Technologies: 3 types, 1. Client/server computing: servers connect to many clients. 2. Packet switching: method of delivering data across a local or a long distance connection, it packages data in units (packets) which identifies intended recipient. 3. TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)/IP(Internet Protocol): a set of protocols to get data from one network device to another. Signal is the transmission of data. Analog signals can be converted into digital signals by using a modem. Analog signals are replicas of sound waves that can be distorted with the noise and drop the quality of transmission. Digital signals have a faster rate of transmission. LAN (Local Area Network): the topology (place) of a LAN can vary greatly, - Star: if the host computer goes down the whole network goes down. - Bus: all computers in the network are linked with cables and treated equally. - Ring: no central host PC, if one PC goes down the rest can still process data & transactions.

...Cellular Networks Small Cells are low-powered radio access nodes that operate in licensed and unlicensed spectrum that have a range of 10 meter to 200 meters, compared to a mobile Macrocell which might have a range of a few kilometres. With mobile operators struggling to support the growth in mobile data traffic, many are using Mobile data offloading as a more efficient use of radio spectrum. Small cells are a vital element to 3G data off-loading, and many mobile network operators see small cells as vital to managing LTE Advanced spectrum more efficiently compared to using just macrocells. Small cells can be used to provide in-building and outdoor wireless service. Mobile operators use small cells to extend their service coverage and/or increase network capacity. With small cells, mobile operators can offload traffic as much as 80% during peak times. Small cells cover Femtocells, Picocells, and Microcells. Small cell networks can also be realized by means of distributed radio technology consisting of centralized baseband units and remote radio heads. Beamforming technology (focusing a radio signal on a very specific area) can be utilized to further enhance or focus small cell coverage. A common factor in all these approaches to small cells is that they are centrally managed by mobile network operators. Small cells provide a small radio footprint, which can range from 10 meters within urban and in-building locations to 2 km for a rural location. Picocells and microcells...
