Both Bridges and Switches work on the data link layer of the OSI Model. However, switches are more advanced. Discuss how a switch has an advantage over a bridge in a network then elaborate more on the technology implemented in switches to control broadcast domains
A bridge is a two interfaces device that creates two collision domains. This is because it forwards the traffic received from one interface only to the interface where layer two devices is connected (Olenewa, 2014). Bridges serves the main function of reading the destination of MAC address to forward the traffic only to the interface where it ...

Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a framework for system design. This framework looks at all datastructures within the system as objects. These objects have attributes that define the object. Methods are used to manipulate data within these objects. Entities are external storages and human users of the system. An entity relationship model is a model that contains objects, methods and entities and their interactions with one another. Contemporary programmers use the OOP framework to design automated systems (docs.oracle.com). In this paper, we examine two key concepts of OOP and present a sample algorithm using OOP concepts.
Deborah J. Armstrong proposed some ...

Categorically, there are approximations that nearly 30% of the overall globe land area comprises of occupied arid and semi-arid areas. Most importantly, water shortages prevent both economic and social development of the mentioned arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The cited economic and social development gets held back because they significantly rely on continuous water supply resources. Due to the constant and continuous interruption of the aquifers (V.E.A, 2005, p.122), the freshwater challenge gets motivated, because, the mentioned water is increasingly becoming salty. The report, therefore, aims at evaluating the feasibility of providing fresh water ...

The challenge of sustainable water supply and management in arid areas is magnified by the climatic condition of these regions. The areas often experience a period of six rainless months every year. The areas also experience low and unpredictable annual precipitation of around 100 to 500mm per year as well as extreme potential evaporation (Bunn et al. 2006, p.174). The impact of climate change primarily affects the amount of fresh water supply in arid regions. There is a substantial decrease ...
