Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

  • Fiber Channel interface model is used for devising the video conferencing system and video cameras together.
  • Fiber Channel is a type of network technology used for connecting the computer data storage. It is also used in supercomputers and Storage Area Network (SAN).
  • It uses Fiber Channel Protocol (FCP) to transmit Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) over channel networks.
  • It includes fiber optic media in transporting communications and uses topologies like switched, point-to-point and loop.
    • In switched topology, all the devices are connected to fiber channel switch.
    • Point-to-point topology is one of the simple topologies in which two different devices are connected with each other.
    • In arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) topology, all the devices are connected in the form a ring or loop. Here, if one device is affected then, whole system gets affected.
    • Loop with hub is a topology in which all the loops are connected in the form of ring or loop using a central device called hub.
  • It includes essential requirements like traffic management, performance, consolidation and high-speed and low latency.
    • Traffic management: Resources are allocated based on their priority using Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS)...

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.
