After the front-office network at XYZ Corp. is set up, an accountant realizes that if the loading dock connected to the network, dock workers could log incoming and outgoing shipments and keep the inventory more current. Even though the loading dock is nowhere near the shop floor, the dock is 1100 feet from the front office. What kinds of cable will work to make this connection? What kind would you choose and why?

A.The University of Zotto wants to upgrade its network so that the dean of the university can deliver important information related to students and teachers directly to the campus monitors located in the vicinity. The university has hired a firm named Internet Solutions for this purpose. The firm has come up with a solution where it will use a central receiver to distribute video signals to multiple monitors within a building. However, the firm is still not sure about the kind of cables it will be using as the allocated budget is not extensive. Analyze which of the following should be ideal in such a scenario. 1.RG-59 cables 2.Category 3 cables 3.RG-6 cables 4.Fiber-optic cables

Assume you are working for a communications company. Your line manager asked you to provide a short report for one client of the company. The report will be used to decide what equipment, cabling and topology will be used for a new wired local area network segment with 25 desktop computers. The client already decided that the Ethernet protocol will be used. Your report must describe the posible network topologies. For each topology: you need to describe what possible cabling and equipment would be necessary, briefly describe some advantages and disadvantages of the topology; and how data colision and error detection will be dealt with using the specified equipment and topology. Your total answer should have a maximum of 450 words.
Using a series of switches, a single LAN connection may link two hundred workstations and four servers. A large number of broadcast packets are being received on your local area network, and you'd want to lessen their effect on your system. How can you be sure that the path you're on will lead you to success?
When you send a particular packet of information across a network, it needs to be routed from the sender to the intended receiver. (a) Explain how information is communicated over a network, including mentioning the equipment you need to direct the information. (b) Outline different cabled approaches you could use to create an ethernet network. (c) Draw a schematic of a local area network that can connect 10 users to 100Gbps data rates, mentioning the equipment you would use.
