**NEED PROBLEM 2 ANSWERED ONLY*** I included problem 1 because it has some of the instructions for problem 2.

 

I need a 10 page, 12-point font, APA format paper. The description and question is listed below. Please pay special attention to the description and Project Grading portion of the instructions. Once again this is only for PROBLEM 2. I will need atleast 4 referances, which can include the reading material i will be providing.

 

I will be attaching 3 word documents that have all of the reading material for this class in them. I also included the citation for each of the readings at the begining of the paper.

 

**I WILL INCLUDE A GENEROUS TIP, UP TO TWICE THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE PAPER IS IT IS WELL WRITTEN AND WITHIN THE PARAMETERS I SPECIFIED** I amy even tip bigger if it is outstanding and I find no signs of plagerism after i run it through a plagerism checker.

 

Description

The project will consist of a 10-page project paper. The 10 pages include only the text, with everything else extra. You are expected to run a spell checker against the paper. More than 12 pages is not expected. As a matter of fact, it will not help you to include more.

Supporting diagrams or pictures are welcome, but they do not need to be fancy.

The project will be a subset of a network design that still requires you to think about media, hardware, and protocols for either home use or to support a small office.

You will write the paper from the point of view of a network designer, and you will try to solve one of these two problems.

 

Problem 1

I am sitting in front of my Intel PC, which is running a Windows 7 (or later) operating system, and I am using my Internet Explorer Web browser to access an ISP of your choice. I am doing this at 56 kbs modem speeds, but I want to join the broadband revolution.

You will hook my PC up to some broadband access method. You will describe the overall design; describe specific vendor hardware that makes up the design; describe the transmission media; and describe the protocols within the design (note that this includes TCP/IP and HTTP).

 

 The three approved solutions for this problem are cable TV, DSL, or wireless. For DSL, you should describe the solution from my PC to the DSLAM or the first ATM switch. For cable or wireless, you will have to include an overview of their networks.

 

Problem 2

I want to set up an Ethernet LAN for my small office of 10 people. The parameters are similar to those of Problem 1, except you will be connecting to a LAN.

 

For either problem, your design should include the link from my PC or office workstation to the Internet Service Point (ISP) access point within the vendor’s network.

 

You will have to research one of these solutions and then write your paper. For the DSL solution, you should go to one of the DSLAM vendors, such as Lucent; select a DSLAM; and then describe it.

 

For the cable, wireless, or LAN solutions, you will have to describe how the network components work in general. You will need to include descriptions on the home or office components, as well as an overview of their networks.

 

Project Grading

The project paper will be graded on the following elements:

·          introduction (10%)    

·         overall design or high-level description (20%)

hardware (10%)    

transmission media (10%)    

protocol description (10%)

·         lessons learned (10%)

·         grammar/syntax and length (20%)   

·         references (10%)

Submitted papers that show evidence of plagiarism will be given a score of zero.

There should be no spelling or grammatical mistakes; the construction should be logical and easy to read. A reference list should be provided at the end of the paper. A minimum of two outside references should be used.
