Unit1 - Individual Project Due on 03/29/2014

A company wants to create 4 separate offices across the globe. The managers want to be able to connect these offices over the Internet, and they want to make sure that each network is available to each other. That is, they want the routing information of all 4 networks to be available at each site so that any employee can go to any site and work from it, but they are worried about passing traffic over the Internet and how to monitor the traffic for security and compliance reasons.

Please answer the following questions and requirements to write your 3–5 page paper. As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic IT articles or real-life IT findings that are not found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA style for all cited sources, including your reference page.

· Discuss the latest implementations of routing protocols that would be used in the company's wide area network and the Internet.

· Where is each protocol used in a wide area network (WAN)? How does each protocol work in a WAN?

· How would the routers help in monitoring passing traffic over the networks and Internet under safe and secure conditions? Provide examples of how it would be done and why it would be done in this fashion.

· If you were able to recommend another way to build this network from the idea and requirements of the company, what would be your recommendation? Why would you recommend this alternative?

Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

This assignment will also be assessed using additional criteria provided here .

Please submit your assignment.

Discuss the importance of using a routing protocol and explain general functionality. Router Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol than can be used by a router to send data from one network to another. What are the demerits of distance vector routing protocols in general? 

Assignment Guidelines:

· Using the course materials, the textbook, and Web resources research distance-vector routing protocols, with a high concentration on the versions of Router Information Protocol (RIP).

· Use the following questions to help you format your research paper:

What is the purpose of a routing protocol?

What is a distance-vector routing protocol?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of distance-vector protocols?

What is RIP?

What are the two versions of RIP, and what are their specific purposes?

What are the limitations of RIP?

· Compile your responses to the above questions in a 4–7 page word document.

Your submitted assignment (125 points) must include the following:

· A 4–7 page, double-spaced Microsoft Word document, excluding title page and reference section. All references should be in APA format. You may find using section headings and bullets make the paper more readable.

Grading:

You will be graded on the accuracy of your answers and the thoroughness of your RIP, RIPv1, RIPv2, and distance-vector routing protocol descriptions.

Please submit your assignment.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

Your organization opened seven new branch offices in five states. Each branch office has five floors. All the branch offices use the same Internet domain name. The organization has approximately 25 servers and anticipates that an additional 30 servers should be purchased. The organization is planning to provide network services for about 5,000 users. All users require access to the Internet. Certain resources such as printing and file sharing will be centralized. Members of your group should do the following:

Group Project Guidelines:

· Using the scenario and assignment information in the Assignment Description, discuss with your group how you should divide the tasks evenly among the members.

· Perform the following tasks:

Estimate the quantity of connectivity (routers, switches, etc) devices that will be needed to link all the branches.

Provide your rationale for choosing the quantity of each device.

Estimate the number of DNS servers and the type of DNS server that will be installed in each branch.

Recommend the connectivity and bandwidth for each branch and provide your reasoning behind the recommendation.

Using Microsoft Visio, provide a network design (a diagram or diagrams) that shows interconnectivity among the branches.

· Compile your final group estimations, recommendations, and diagrams into an 8–15 page Word document.

Your submitted Group Project (200 points) must include the following:

· Your assignment will be 8–15 pages, double-spaced Microsoft Word document, excluding title page and reference section. All references should be in APA format. You may find using section headings and bullets make the paper more readable.

Please be sure that your assignment adheres to Assignment Guidelines listed above.

Grading:

You will be graded on the development of your reasoning behind your equipment quantity estimations, the thoroughness of your DNS server recommendation, and the accuracy of your group's diagrams. 

Please add your file.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers.

The following is a case study about a design company.

· You are a senior network administrator for a networking solutions firm. Years ago, you installed a small LAN at a design company. It is growing fast and needs your networking solutions firm to upgrade its network. You assigned Liz to the job. That afternoon, while preparing to work on a lab assignment from her class in Cisco routing, Liz mentions that she would use a router to increase the performance of the design company's network because routers are better than bridges. Explain to Liz when and where a router would be the best choice. Under what circumstances would a router not be the best choice? Provide examples to clarify your points.

· Another technician, Janis, overhears the discussion as she sits down to examine the lab materials on Liz's desk. Janis thinks the design company should use a bridge to solve the problem. She reminds you that the design company has a relatively small network and that a router would be more equipment than necessary. The design company's network is using nonroutable protocols. What do you tell Janis? Provide examples in your explanation and recommendations.

· Luke also takes classes in Cisco routing, and he enjoys the hands-on exercises in his class. As he reviews his notes for that night's class, he is unsure of the concept of routing tables. Explain to Luke what kind of information is kept in a router's routing table and what it is used for. What 2 methods can be used to build these tables? Provide examples in your explanation to clarify and accentuate your explanation.

Be sure to cite all references using APA style.

The OSI Layer 3 (Network Layer) is one of the layers that perform packet segmentation. The OSI Layer 3 is roughly equivalent to the Internet Layer of the TCP/IP model and the Layer 4 (Transport Layer) of the OSI model is roughly equivalent to the Host-to-Host layer of the TCP/IP model. The above two layers perform network segmentation. Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(a) Describe in detail how packets are segmented by the Host-to-host layer (Transport Layer) Internet Layer of the TCP/IP model.

(b) Do all packets arrive at their destination in the order in which they were segmented and transmitted? Why or why not?

(c) Describe how segmented packets are re-arranged or reassembled at the packets’ destination to ensure that received segmented packets match the order in which they were segmented and transmitted.

(d) How are errors handled during transmission of segmented packets?

(e) What's the difference between a TCP segment and a TCP packet?

Please answer the following questions and requirements to write your paper of 4–5 pages. As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic IT articles or real-life IT findings that are not found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA style for all cited sources, including your reference page.

Please include the following elements in your paper of 4–5 pages:

· A title page

· A report that includes the following:

· An introduction to the contents of the report

· Detailed explanations about the items listed regarding network segmentation, error handling, TCP segments and TCP packets.

Please cite your references in APA format.
