Essays on Twisted Pair

- What are some of the possible services that a link-layer protocol can offer to the network layer? Which of these link-layer services have corresponding services in IP? In TCP?

One of the services is framing. This service is also available in IP and TCP. Another service offered is link access. The third service is reliable delivery which is also available in TCP protocol. There is also a service of flow control that is also available in TCP. Another service that is available is error detection that is available with both IP and TCP. Another service is error correction in the ...

There are many communication protocols that are used in Riordan Manufacturing Company. Communication protocols are useful in the networking world. They are the standards that are used to manage communications in the networks. They form the basis under which connections and interfaces communicate. The various branches that are seen in the company are reason enough to have protocols that will help in having a unified communication model. Communication protocols help to make common technologies that will make two hosts to communicate. Protocol is the specific rules and electric signal that the network system use. The protocol controls the communication of ...

A computer network or topology is how computers are connected to each other. This is the physical and logical connection of computers. The selection of a network is important for it determines the speed and efficiency of communication in the network. There are three types of networks which include the local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN). These are used in accordance to the size of the area. For instance the local area network is used in areas of radius not exceeding 30 miles. It is mostly used in offices and small institutions. Comparing ...

My experience on LAN cable wiring was a challenging one. I had to make sure that the crimping tool is placed properly to expose the wires. I also had to make sure that my hands are not trembling, so that I can steadily place the wires correctly. LAN cable wiring is unlike electrical wiring, wherein you have to connect the wires in their proper places. I have to be careful when cutting very thin plastic wires. Otherwise, I would inadvertently cut the cable when I apply too much pressure. I made sure that I was careful in inserting the exposed ...

Introduction

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is a modem technology that is available channel bandwidth is shared between the outgoing and incoming traffic is asymmetric. Since most users have incoming traffic volume is much higher than the volume of outgoing, the rate of outgoing traffic is significantly lower. This restriction was uncomfortable with the spread of peer-to-peer networks and video.

History of development

History of the development of ADSL technology started in the second half of the eighties, when were searching technology for interactive television. Pioneer family of technologies xDSL is a company Bellcore; in 1987, it introduced the first specification of a family of technologies ...

- Problems related to data planning and modeling, their solutions as well as associated advantages and disadvantages. Data modeling and planning are time intensive and the characteristics of a good model depend on their purpose. Data planning tends to overestimate itself in many organizations and sometimes faces pitfalls in governance and strategy (Rosemann, 2006). Insufficient modeling standards and too much technical thinking also occur. Problems can be alleviated by creating various semantic networks for parts of the total area of study as well as consolidating various networks. Generalization of all semantic networks can also be utilized. Data modeling ...

ABSTRACT

This proposal highlights the suggested changes to improve the efficiency and throughput of the computer network of Ocper Inc. The changes proposed will implement a client/server model in a Local Area Network (LAN) in replacement of the existing Peer-2-Peer network. A change of the connecting cables from coaxial cable to unshielded twisted pair cable is also suggested.

In the currently used peer-to-peer connection, there is no dedicated computer to provide services to the other computers. Also, the expected growth of the existing 20 computers will reduce the throughput of the network with this topology, since the network will become slow and ...

Discussion on Inclusion/Exclusion of Fiber Optics and UTP Cabling Design for Gates Widget Company

Fiber Optics an UTP Cabling in Design

Mr. B. Gates the owner of Gates Widget Company has ordered to design a cable network that will be used for the three buildings in the companys premises namely, Day care, factory and the administrative building. The focus of discussion in terms of inclusion and exclusion of cabling technology is for the administrative building. There are two types of cables that will be used in the design. First is the UTP or unshielded twisted pair which has a maximum VDV ( ...

In this paper, I have chosen to write about the network configuration that is required in a book store. In such a business there are a good number of computers and other peripherals that are supposed to be interconnected. To come up with a good computer and other devices on the network, three major elements are dealt with. These are the network topology, the protocol and the internet connection. Among the three network topologies that are available: that is the star topology, bus topology and ring topology, star topology best fit this kind of network devices configuration because it is simple to ...

I would suggest the Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS) because:-

It makes it possible to centrally manage network resources, such as programs, data and devices (McLeish, 2009).

It makes it possible for employees to secure access to the network. It allows remote users to connect to the network. It allows users to connect to other networks like the Internet. It backs up data entered and make sure it's always available. It allow for simple additions of computers and other resources in the network. It monitors the status and functionality of network elements e.g. ...
