Explanation of Solution

 Features of simple network:

  • The client computers, server computer, network operating system software, network interfaces, hub, and a connection medium are the entities of a simple network.
  • The basic responsibility of network operating system software is to control the network and its functions.
  • One client computer is connected to another client computer within the same network.
  • Hubs and switches function are to send packets of data to all other linked devices.
  • The network helps web pages to store data and network operating system.
  • The switch has the capability to select a particular destination while the hub sends a packet to all other linked devices.
  • The network components links with the connection mediums such as coaxial cables, radio signals or telephone wires.
  • The Microsoft Window Server, Linux and Novell Open Enterprise Server are the most commonly used network operating system software...

Explanation of Solution

Principal technologies and trends:

 Some of the principal technologies and trends which have shaped contemporary telecommunications systems are as follows:

  • Client/ Server computing
  • Packet switching
  • TCP/ IP and Connectivity

    Client/ Server computing:

  • Client/ Server computing is defined as a distributed computing model where a part of the processing power is placed within cheap client computers and exist in laptops, handled devices or desktops.
  • It also allows for computing to departments, factory floors, workgroups and other parts of a business that couldn’t be worked by a centralized architecture.
  • The clients are linked to other clients through networks that is controlled by a network server computer.
  • It has replaced by centralized mainframe computer.
  • The process of the client/ server computing has no longer taken place on a central large mainframe computer.

Packet Switching:

  • Messages transferring in the internet are divided into fixed size unit of data called packets.
    • Messages are divided into packets to increase the performance and reliability of the internet.
    • Ιt also improves the effectiveness of the communication line in the internet.
  • Packets travel through several routers before it reaches the destination...

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.
