LAN Topologies LAN Topologies Ashley Jones University of Phoenix Case Project 2-1 This Case Project explains a network comprised of 50 computers that are connected to 10 Mbps hubs. It goes on to explain the collisions that are occurring when multiple stations send data simultaneously. This description indicates the network is using a logical bus topology because of the 10 Mbps hubs it utilizes. In addition, they are experiencing collisions; in a logical bus topology, data transmitted

Rodolfo Aybar IT/240 LAN Topologies Scott Perales April 27, 2014 Case 2-1 I would recommend the use of a central server which will ease up the process of controlling the incoming and outgoing data transmission. The central server will help the network not get overloaded with the amount of data packets being received and sent. In relation with the Hubs, it will be beneficiary to update them to be able to hubs with the capacity of 1,000 Mbps. This will also help with the overall network performance

LAN Topologies Lord Bones IT240 Jan 01, University of Phoenix - AXIA College LAN Topologies With this assignment I will discuss some topologies of a LAN as requested by questions 11, 12, and 13, chapter three from the textbook Local Area Networks. A “LAN (Local Area Network) topology is the appearance or layout of a network” (Regan, 2006). There are two forms of topologies of a network, namely, the physical- and logical topology with each its own types of topologies. The physical topology

LAN Topologies Jason Smith IT/240 September 7 2014 TAMMY FLEMONS LAN Topologies Case Project 2-1 You have been hired to upgrade a network of 50 computers currently connected to 10 Mbps hubs. This long-overdue upgrade is necessary because of poor network response time caused by a lot of collisions occurring during long file transfers between clients and servers. How do you recommend upgrading this network? What interconnecting devices will you use, and what benefit will you get from using

addition, the hubs should be upgraded to handle 1000 Mbps. Below is an example of what a smaller version would look like. Case Project 2-2 Two hundred workstations and four servers on a single LAN are connected by a number of switches. You’re seeing an excessive number of broadcast packets throughout the LAN and want to decrease the effect this broadcast traffic has on your network. What steps must you take to achieve this goal? Ideally it’s preferable to probably split it up into one or more workstation

LAN Topologies IT240 10/14/12 1. Case Project 2-1 With a network of 50 computers I will use the Ring Topology to upgrade this network. With this type of topology all the devices are connecting in a loop form and the information travels in one direction, thus avoiding collisions. Here the cabling doesn’t terminate, it continually goes from one device to another till it gets back to the original device. It is also easier to manage the network since all the information is passed around

There are many different types of network topologies, but the three most common types are LANs, MANs, and WANs. The LAN topology is probably the most common of the three. The MAN and WAN topologies are used but not nearly as much as the LAN topology is, although the WAN is starting to be used more and more because of the growing population of networks. The LAN (Local Area Network) is used so much because it is used in small areas. Small businesses use LANs a great deal because they are small and

means bandwidth. 2. Explain if ring topology is a good choice for WANs. ANS: WAN is a computer networking technology used to transmit data over long distances, and between different LANs, MANs. Thus, at first glance, we can say ring topology may NOT be a good choice for WAN because of the following reasons: The communication delay of ring topology is directly proportional to number of nodes in the network. It will result in serious delay if ring topology is being chosen to implement large networks
