MIS589_WK4_Mini-case-MegaCorp_PC Questions: MegaCorp is a large manufacturing firm that operates 5 factories in Dallas, 4 factories in Los Angeles, and 5 factories in Albany, New York. It operates a tightly connected order management system that coordinates orders, raw materials, and inventory across all 14 factories. What type of WAN architecture and WAN service would you recommend? Why? Recommendations: When designing a WAN, numerous factors must be considered. Organizations attempting to connect

Protocol Choices April 28, 2013 Team 5 (John Castro, Ruben Barragan, Teri Jordin, Saul Nolasco) There are many choices to make when you are deciding how your network will communicate with each other. There are a lot of protocols to take into consideration that will help make this possible. We have decided that for our WAN protocols, we will go with using frame relay. We will explain why we have chosen to go with frame relay, but first we will explain why the other choices are did not fit

Kayla D. King Journal 9 December 1, 2013 CAT Part 1 The Communication Accommodation Theory came about after; Giles realized that speech goes beyond twangs, pronunciation, and gaps in speech. In 1987 Giles coined the Communication Accommodation Theory as a theory that is based on intercultural communication. Accommodation is the ongoing shift in communication that is either toward or away from others. This theory is based on two strategies: convergence and divergence. Both are seen

existing competitors. Entry barrier is an obstruction that makes it difficult for a company to enter an industry. Some possible barriers to entry are: * Economic of Scale * Product Differentiation * Capital Requirements * Switching Costs * Access to Distribution Channels. * Cost Disadvantages Independent in Size * Government Policy 2) Rivalry Among Existing Firms A competitive move by one fir can be expected to have noticeable effect on its competitors and

transmission rate between the sending host and switch#1 is R1. The transmissions rate between switch#1 and switch#2 and between switch#2 and the receiving host are R2 and R3, respectively. Assuming that the switches user store-andforward packet switching, what is the total end-to-end delay to send a packet of length L? (Ignore queuing, propagation delay, and processing delay.) 3, (10 points) (a) How long does it take for a packet of length 1,000 bytes to be delivered from the sending host to the

advantages and disadvantages of circuit and packet switches. Considerations for performance, speed and throughput potential. The reliability and predictability of end-to-end transmission. The importance of the major protocols for circuit switching and packet switching. Considering these choices are a vital part of any network protocol. Open System Interconnection OSI or Open System Interconnection is how applications can communicate over a network by using a reference model. The reference model’s

The four major protocols for circuit switching and packet switching are as follows: • X.25 • Frame Relay • ATM or Asynchronous Transfer Mode protocol • TCP/IP X.25 is probably one of the very first of packet switching protocols. It performs really well, especially considering how long it has been around. X.25 uses a virtual circuit approach, mainly using POTS or plain old telephone service lines, which are different from lines such as ISDN. The POTS lines

ordered the circuit. Also known as a line, leased circuit, and point-to-point line. Circuit switching-The overall process by which a series of telco devices called circuit switches connect a circuit from one customer to the other, with the device’s logic taking incoming bits on one segment in the link and forwarding those bits out the matching outgoing segment, without storing bits. Packet switching-Process of forwarding customer data in a WAN by looking at the header of the messages sent into

paper sets out at the beginning different definitions and approaches to the linguistic phenomenon - Code-Switching. Through my work, I will highlight five different factors that motivate code-switching in a bilingual speaker although the reasons for code-switching are many . I will talk about the role of ethnic solidarity, social class, topic, affection, and persuasion in motivating switching codes. I will use different approaches and case-studies conducted by researchers from inside and outside

tching Checkpoint: Switching When comparing and contrasting the two different switches, both types of switching seem to be commonly used, depending on the person’s preference. Circuit switching seems to be more expensive and barely used anymore, it’s more of an older form. Packet switching is however more modern and both expensive and inexpensive depending on the demand and usage. Also while making a call if you were to talk for a certain amount of minutes you would be charged for those
