Explanation of Solution

Computer Network:

A group of computers which communicates among each other over wires or transmission lines is referred as “computer network”.

  • The basic type of computer networks are:
  • Personal Area Networks (PANs)
  • Local Area Networks (LANs)
  • Wide Area Networks (WANs)
  • Internets

Difference between PANs, LANs, WANs, intranet, internets and the Internet:

Network Purpose
PAN Used to connect the devices which are located about a single person at 10 meters distance.
LAN Used to connect the devices which are located in a single geographic location of a company that operates the LAN network.
WAN Used to connect the devices which are located in different geographic locations. Two different companies get connected using a WAN network.
Intranet It is a network that is used completely within an organization.
Internets It is a network of networks. It can connect LAN, WAN and other internets.
Internet It is a collection of networks used to send mails or accessing web sites.

Protocol:

A set of rules and structures for organizing communications is referred as protocol.

Purpose of Protocols:

Computer programs are written by data communication and software vendors, which can implement the rules for specific protocol.

Key difference of a LAN:

A key distinction of LAN is that all the computers should be located in an organization which controls the LAN network. This means, the organization can route cables wherever required to connect the computers.

Purpose of the components in SOHO (Small Office/ Home Office) LAN:

The computers and printers are communicating among each other using the combination wired and wireless connections.

  • For wireless connection, 802.11 standard protocols have been used for data transmission. This standard specifies an “over-the-air” interface between a wireless consumer and a base location or between two wireless consumers.
  • For wired connection, 802.3 standard protocols have been used for data transmission. It also defines how messages are wrapped and processed for wired transmission over LAN network.

IEEE 802.3:

The IEEE 802.3 is a protocol used to connect wired LAN. This standard, also referred as “Ethernet”, requires hardware features like wire which carries signals...

Lab 07: Java Graphics (Bonus lab) In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: ➤ A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). о The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: о An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. ○ о о A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels.…
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?
