The term “topology” in networking refers to the configuration of cables‚ computers‚ and peripherals. The six common used topologies in networking are: bus‚ star‚ ring‚ mesh‚ tree‚ and hybrid. The three major topologies that I will be discussing further in detail are: bus‚ star‚ and ring topology. Bus topology is probably considered the easiest of the network topologies. In a bus topology‚ the devices are connected to a central cable called the bus. The bus cable carries the transmitted message

Windows end-users and Internet routing technology have both become more frequent targets of intruder activity. The control mechanisms for DDoS attack networks are changing to make greater use of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) technology. The impacts of DoS attacks are causing greater collateral damage‚ and widespread automated propagation itself has become a vehicle for causing denial of service. While DoS

The proposed network is designed to serve The Banana Tree Travel Agency and remote site office. The proposed office located in Cairo‚ Egypt will have two employees to better serve their international customers. The second site will have a 12 port patch panel‚ a 12 port Cisco switch‚ a Cisco router‚ and a Cisco ASA. The building adjacent to the main office‚ which is part of the same domain/network‚ will house 10 to 15 more travel agents. I will set up a file server so all users can have access to

of science‚ amongst other things. We have been observing great scientific achievements since the dawn of the 20th century. But the invention which has brought about a revolutionary change in the world is computer. The history of computer science began long before the modern discipline of computer science that emerged in the 20th century‚ and hinted at in the centuries prior. The progression‚ from mechanical inventions and mathematical theories towards the modern concepts and machines‚ formed a major

You are the IT manager of an Elementary School. The school is adding computers that have been donated by a local company. An extended star topology has been suggested‚ using some hubs that are available. The school agrees with your idea of adding a switch working as a backbone switch‚ as shown in the figure below. The plan is to replace the classroom hubs as the budget allows. Scenario: For now‚ the very basic details are as follows: the Elementary School is a four-year-old‚ single-level building

1. Introduction With the rapid development of new communications technology and network technology‚ some industries such as information industry show significant network externality characteristics. Network externality has been defined as "a change in the benefit‚ or surplus‚ that an agent derives from a good when the number of other agent consuming the same kind of good changes" (Liebowitz & Margolis‚ 1996). In other words‚ the product will be more valuable if more people use it. For example
