Explanation of Solution

Storage Area Network (SAN):

Storage Area Network are fast networks provided by Fibre channel and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, that has an enabled construction of dedicated networs built specially for storage access and data management.

  • SAN logically extend the local storage buses by making storage devices collections accessible to all computer platforms – small, medium, and large. Storage devices will be allocated with the hosts or can be miles away serving as “hot” backups for a primary processing site.
  • SANs have faster access to large storage amounts which can be provided by the NAS model.
  • SANs are also known as “the network behind the network”, and are isolated from network traffic.
  • Fibre channel storage networks are much faster than that of NAS systems because they have only one protocol stack to traverse. Therefore, they bypass traditional file servers that can cause network traffic...

If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?

This week we will be building a regression model conceptually for our discussion assignment. Consider your current workplace (or previous/future workplace if not currently working) and answer the following set of questions. Expand where needed to help others understand your thinking:  What is the most important factor (variable) that needs to be predicted accurately at work? Why? Justify its selection as your dependent variable.
