...what is expected from the product. 2. In general, why would a layered architecture be viewed as beneficial? Clear separation of responsibilities, exposed workflow, also the ability to replace one or more layers with little effort and side effects. This helps keep things moving in order. Think of it kind of like a restaurant you have customer, waiter, and chef. You would not send the customer to the chef to order their food. (Bart, T.) 3. What is a protocol and why would one be used? Provide an example of a technological protocol or a society- based protocol. Protocol: the custom and regulations dealing with diplomatic formality, precedence, and etiquette.

...(sometimes), scalability and fault tolerance. The maintenance of your application is easier because of the low coupling between layers. Adding more functionality to your application is made easier. Layers make your application more testable. Building a well formed layers makes the orientation in your application easier. Having your application not layered means that you have to deal with all security threats in one place which is very difficult. Having your application distributed to layers makes it much easier for design and implement Without a good deployment plan it is not trivial to distribute your layers over multiple physical tiers in distributed computing. You need to plan ahead your layers when you create a distributed application. 3. What is a protocol and why would one be used?

Steps Denial-of-Service attacks (DoS) We will analyze the attack as best as we can and implement the correct defense. We will ask ourselves if there are any common packet signatures that are easy to filter against. We will ask ourselves if all attackers hitting a single target if they can be sacrificed. We will also need to find out as to which network the attack is coming from, and if we can verify it (remember that spoofed packets can come from anywhere, including our own network). Once we’ve found a reasonable match for the attack, pass the filters to our upstream provider(s) and seek their help getting them propagated outwards. We will need to make sure we filter or redirect traffic with a minimum amount of actual downtime (Kaeo, 2004).

...techniques, and a commonly used one -- ARP Cache Poisoning -- is the focus of this article. ARP poisoning enables local hackers to cause general networking mayhem. Because it's mostly "incurable," every administrator should be aware of how this attack works. ARP Refresher In Foundations: What Are NIC, MAC, and ARP?, we explained that Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is how network devices associate MAC addresses with IP Addresses so that devices on the local network can find each other. ARP is basically a form of networking roll call. ARP, a very simple protocol, consists of merely four basic message types: 1. An ARP Request. Computer A asks the network, "Who has this IP address?" 2. An ARP Reply. Computer B tells Computer A, "I have that IP. My MAC address is [whatever it is]." 3. A Reverse ARP Request (RARP). Same concept as ARP Request, but Computer A asks, "Who has this MAC address?" 4. A RARP Reply. Computer B tells Computer A, "I have that MAC. My IP address is [whatever it is]" All network devices have an ARP table, a short-term memory of all the IP addresses and MAC addresses the device has already matched together. The ARP table ensures that the device doesn't have to repeat ARP Requests for devices it has already communicated with. Here's an example of a normal ARP communication. Jessica, the receptionist, tells Word to print the latest company contact list. This is her first print...

...CSC621 Business Data Communications and Networking Chapter 1: Introduction to Data Communication Submitted By: Sreedhar Thotakuri Student ID – Sthota9299 Sullivan Univeristy Professor: Dr. Nathan P. Johnson Answers to End-of-Chapter Questions 7. How do LANs differ from MANs, WANs, and BNs? Answer: A Local Area Network (LANs) are a group of computers located in the same general Area usually in a small defined area like one floor or work area and uses shared LANs support high-speed data transmission compared with standard telephone circuits, commonly operating 100 million bits per second (100 Mbps). (Fitzgerald, Dennis, & Durcikova, 2012) A Metropolitan area network (MANs) covers a city or county area usually span between 3 and 30 miles, MAN is provided by common carriers like telephone companies. MANs data transmission usually ranges from 64 Kbps t0 100 Mbps. (Fitzgerald, 2012). Wide area network (WAN) covers city, state or national boundaries and it covers hundreds or thousands of miles and it provides data transmission ranging from 64kbps to 10Gbps(Fitzgerald, 2012). Back bone network (BN) a larger, central network which connects several LANS, MANs, WANs and other BNs and it covers from hundreds of feet to several miles and the data transmission ranges from 100 to 1,000 Mbps. (Fitzgerald, 2012). 14. Explain how a message is transmitted from one computer to another using layers. Answer. Network user uses application layer which is...

...revenue associated with site downtime and possible compromise of sensitive confidential data. It is imperative today’s corporate network is configured and prepared to protect itself from external cyber-attacks. Since there is no 100% method to stop external cyber-attacks, attention to detail must be made in regards to proper configuration of the network to include state of the art hardware and software. To include current security patches for both software and hardware respectively. Additionally, hardware and software measures will be limited in their effectiveness without network policies and techniques to protect against external cyber-attacks such as Denial of Service, Distributed Denial of Service, Masquerading and IP Spoofing, Smurf Attacks, Land c Attacks, and Man-in-the-Middle attacks. In close coordination with our IS team engineers and IT network director an approved plan has been incorporated to minimize risk of an effective cyber-attack on our network. Specifically this plan covers a comprehensive review of current network design and interdependencies, Standard Operating Procedures, Emergency Operating Procedures, detailed analysis of every program, service, host, router, switch to include interaction between these services and resources.

...Some of the benefits are companies are not locked into a specific technology and/or vendor. This makes it easy to use different forms of communications and technologies with in one company or business. It also makes the exchange and the interchange of data a lot smoother. 2) Layered architecture will help accelerate the application development of processes. A model is defined as a set of elements, (forms, queries, methods or fields) captured in metadata and stored in specific layers of a model store. This allows less code writing and faster solutions. Large and complex systems that are constantly being updated, the ability to be able to change the implementation of a service without affecting the other components of the system. 3) A protocol is a set of rules that defines how things are to be done, a standard method that’s agreed upon for passing or transmitting data between devices. The internet is an example of successful protocol-based system in which the implementation of key qualities of protocols such as error and correction and message formatting is utilized across a wide variety of hardware and software. 4) There are four different types of networks: a) Local area network (LAN) is a network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building using network media.

...area networks (MANs), wide area networks (WANs), and backbone networks (BNs)? LANs differ from other networks because they are small generally connecting a single building or floor and normally operate at 100 Mbps. Where BNs can connect all other types of networks together and can span hundreds of feet to several miles. BNs can also operate at 100 to 1,000 Mbps. MANs differ because they connect LANs and BNs in separate geographical locations to each other as well as to WANs. MANs are larger in size and span 3 to 30 miles that are slower in most cases where they operate at 64 Kbps to 100Mbps however new technologies have created much faster speeds in some areas at 10 Gbps. BNs and MANs are connected through WANs where they can span thousands of miles and are so large that space is generally leased due to cost and amounts of information that are able to be transferred. The transfer rates normally range from 64 Kbps to 10 Gbps. 14. Explain how a message is transmitted from one computer to another using layers? Application Layer-A message is created through a web browser where the message is translated into a HTTP packet this HTTP packet is then placed into a TCP segment that contains HTTP and contains the message-Transport Layer. At this point the Network Layer – then uses Internet Protocol to select its destination for the message on the network; the IP contains the previous 2 layers packets and segments. From here the Data Link Layer- Places the IP packet into the...
