Explanation of Solution

Strategic Planning: Strategic planning is an internal process which is important while developing a project. It helps to build up future, focusing on organizational goals, future growth of an organization and planning business objectives. So,basically strategic planning is beyond day to day activities and focusing on future goals.

Role of strategic planning in day to day business operation is as follows:

The top managers of an organization set business strategic goals and objectives. To fulfill those goals, the organization requires an information technology section which supports strategic goals.

The IT department has to keep doing technical work to handle information which is required for strategic planning for the future.It also helps in building communication between people in making business decisions, training of candidates, or accessing human resources.

To keep abreast with the demand for a product, proper strategic planning is required. It also helps to change the business environment and make it dynamic.

Importance of system analysts to understand a company’s strategic plans:

Strategic planning consists of a mission, vision, purpose and values of an organization. To accomplish an organization's mission, the organization needs information technology to solve technical issues. An organization’s mission focuses mainly on long-term challenges and goals.So, it is very important for system analysts to understand an organization’s strategic plan, to communicate requirements effectively between sponsors and IT team. System analysts evaluate feasibility study, fact-finding techniques, reporting to management and so on. IT team also develops websites, training of customer support system and so on.

In modern packet-switched networks, including the Internet, the source host segments long, application-layer messages (for example, an image or a music file) into smaller packets and sends the packets into the network. The receiver then reassembles the packets back into the original message. We refer to this process as message segmentation. Figure 1.27 (attached) illustrates the end-to-end transport of a message with and without message segmentation. Consider a message that is 106 bits long that is to be sent from source to destination in Figure 1.27. Suppose each link in the figure is 5 Mbps. Ignore propagation, queuing, and processing delays. a. Consider sending the message from source to destination without message segmentation. How long does it take to move the message from the source host to the first packet switch? Keeping in mind that each switch uses store-and-forward packet switching, what is the total time to move the message from source host to destination host? b. Now…
Consider a packet of length L that begins at end system A and travels over three links to a destination end system. These three links are connected by two packet switches. Let di, si, and Ri denote the length, propagation speed, and the transmission rate of link i, for i = 1, 2, 3. The packet switch delays each packet by dproc. Assuming no queuing delays, in terms of di, si, Ri, (i = 1, 2, 3), and L, what is the total end-to-end delay for the packet? Suppose now the packet is 1,500 bytes, the propagation speed on all three links is 2.5 * 10^8 m/s, the transmission rates of all three links are 2.5 Mbps, the packet switch processing delay is 3 msec, the length of the first link is 5,000 km, the length of the second link is 4,000 km, and the length of the last link is 1,000 km. For these values, what is the end-to-end delay?
