seven layers being; the physical layer, the data link layer, the network layer, transport layer, session layer, presentation layer, and the application layer. (Ciampa, 2012 pgs207-212) Each layer in the OSI model has a specific function and has protocols and applications that run in those layers. For instance; the physical layer, layer 1 encodes and signals for data transmission and reception, in addition network hubs are a layer 1 device. The data link layer, layer 2 is responsible for addressing

inactivity in a voice conversation and simply ceases sending data associated. Silent suppression can be enabled to monitor signals for voice activity so that when silence is detected for a specified amount of time, the application informs the Packet Voice Protocol and prevents the encoder output from being transported across the network. To help understand silence suppression technology, consider this example: Some people talk all the time. Even they have to take a breath and they sometimes listen and are

the systems in use still lack many features found in PBXs; analog integration can be problematic; consultants with the required voice and data experience are in short supply; and standards for powering phones over Ethernet, such as call control protocols, are still evolving (Mitchell 50). A recent report on VoIP suggests that businesses might be able to cut their telecoms operating costs by half by switching to a VoIP network. The report was published by Cambridge based Analysys, and it also

way. In 1997 the UK signed the Kyoto protocol that is designed to reduce the CO2 emissions of partnering nations. First's main source of revenue are rail and bus systems which are the number four and three contributors to co2 emissions in the UK, respectively. The UK realizes that it would not be able to achieve its objective emission rate without partnering with the businesses that create a large portion of those emissions. Along with the Kyoto protocol there has also been a social change happening

international environmental policy efforts in order to avoid 'dangerous' anthropogenic climate change. Major achievements in the process so far have been the adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992 and the Kyoto Protocol (KP) in 1997, which entered into force in 2005. Carbon Management Carbon management is the control of carbon emissions within the economic, social, and technical and policy constraints through the reductions of carbon sources and the enhancements

Network Hardening Assignment 8 The Internet is vulnerable to myriads kinds of attacks, due to: 1. Vulnerabilities in the TCP-IP protocol 2. No global flow control mechanisms The above two problems lead to many TCP exploits and the dreaded DDoS attacks. We have devised a method of incrementally upgrading the network infrastructure at the transport level that solves the above problems and makes the network significantly more resilient to attacks, particularly the DDoS attack. The approach uses
