...PropAdvwork Proposal University of Maryland University College Shiv LLC will greatly benefit from using Windows Server 2012 to manage their network. Windows Server 2012 brings great updates to security and functionality over past editions of Windows. In this proposal, the major areas I will cover are Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, File Services, Remote Services, and WSUS (Windows Server Update Services). These major roles have features that will make Shiv LLC Company’s infrastructure run smoothly. Active Directory Shiv LLC will have sites across a large geographic location. Because of this, a regional domain model should be used. Domains will be broken down into where users are working. For example, currently Shiv LLC has three locations, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston. This means there will be three domains, representing each of these cities. This strategy will make sure the network can be maintained by regional administrators, who will only worry about users in their area of the network. With this style of deployment, it can be difficult to decide what will be the forest root domain. The main staff for the company is in two cities, Dallas and Houston. This makes it difficult to make one of these sites the forest root domain. To make this decision neutral, a dedicated forest root domain can be suggested. This domain will be created only to function as the forest root. It will not contain and users, except for service administrator accounts for the forest root....

...You have founded your own networking company. You have been asked to submit a proposal for a new network at RobCo Industries. They have asked you to help design, specify and install a network at their facility. Use the knowledge and skills covered in this class to help you with this project. Should you need any information not covered in this document (such as if the offices have baseboards, etc.), please feel free to ask the instructor. RobCo is located in the Port Huron Industrial Park on 16th Street. They are a small company with about 75 employees. Their main product is the patented "Propeller Beanie". They manufacture this item at the Port Huron facility. Currently they have only a few PC's installed, but their technology plan envisions that most employees will work with PC's in the future and that everyone will communicate via an intranet. In essence, your group will create a "case study"... Each week, we will be focusing on a different aspect of the project. The Total budget for this project is $25,000. Week 1 - Physical Plant The exterior dimensions of the building are 120' x 60' the exterior walls are poured concrete, while the interior walls are typical commercial metal stud framing. The building is single story, and is on a slab foundation. There is no sub-floor or basement. The manufacturing facility and the warehouse both have an open 12' ceiling. The office areas have an 8' dropped ceiling. You can estimate the interior dimensions of the...

...Strayer University | | CIS 175 Dr. William McConnell12/03/2013 | | | | | Ocper, Inc. Server Proposal Given Ocper, Inc.’s expanding network scenario there is a clear need to maximize the available resources between employees then it is appropriate to add additional servers to facilitate the sharing of files as well as the configuration of remote access services to allow for remote and secure working. In order to complement the existing network scenario this proposal is based around the configuration and deployment of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 as the network operating system. This is a stable and secure server environment which will allow the designated services to be configured and will equally allow for scalability while at the same time decreasing the overall maintenance and administration to support the network and associated servers. Given the size of the current organization and the IT systems at present, Windows Server 2012 Standard edition would be the most appropriate version for deployment as this will also keep the up-front costs down to a minimum – there is no requirement for the Enterprise Edition whose features will not be required in this implementation. One of the critical roles for the new server implementations will be that of a File Server capability – this can be easily configured within the Ocper, Inc. network through a Static IP address being assigned to this machine and then the File Services role being added to the default...

...such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless and other lossy links also suffer from significant losses due to bit errors and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in degraded end-to-end performance in wireless and lossy systems. The proposed solutions focus on a variety of problems, starting with the basic problem of eliminating the phenomenon of congestion collapse, and also include the problems of effectively using the available network resources in different types of environments (wired, wireless, high-speed, long-delay, etc.). In a shared, highly distributed, and heterogeneous environment such as the Internet, effective network use depends not only on how well a single TCP based application can utilize the network capacity, but also on how well it cooperates with other applications transmitting data through the same network. Our survey shows that over the last 20 years many host-to-host techniques have been developed that address several problems with different levels of reliability and precision. There have been enhancements allowing senders to detect fast packet losses and route changes. Other techniques have the ability to estimate the loss rate, the bottleneck buffer size, and level of congestion. Keywords Computer Networks, TCP, Congestion Control, Congestion Collapse, Packet...

...UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal 1 UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal 2 The network IP addressing scheme for the Frederick MD building should be designed to ease network management. A well thought out network subnet design enables administrators to quickly locate computers by IP address by building floor and room, and whether the computer is a server, a student computer, staff computer or instructor’s computer. A proper subnet design will also minimize broadcast traffic that decreases network performance, by reducing the total number of computers allowed in each broadcast domain. A proper subnet design will also provide for efficient use of IP addresses by including only the number of IP addresses in each subnet necessary to support current computers plus a few additional IP addresses for immediate expansion when required. To differentiate subnets by IP address, student subnets start with a “1” in the third octet, staff subnets start with a “2” in the third octet where “10” in the second and third digits designates the location to be floor 1, “12” designates the location to be floors 1 and 2, “10” designates the location to be floor 1, “20” designates the location to be floor 2, and a second digit of “4” designates office staff and a second digit of “5” designates Admissions staff. The broadcast and network numbers have been removed from the IP address ranges below. UMUC IP Subnets Computer Lab 1 student subnet...

...The Microsoft Antitrust Case* by Nicholas Economides** Revised April 2, 2001 Abstract This paper analyzes the law and economics of United States v. Microsoft, a landmark case of antitrust intervention in network industries. The United States Department of Justice and 19 States sued Microsoft alleging (i) that it monopolized the market for operating systems of personal computers and took anti-competitive actions to illegally maintain its monopoly; (ii) that it attempted to monopolize the market for Internet browsers because such browsers would create competition for operating systems; (iii) that it bundled its browser (Internet Explorer) with Windows; and that it engaged in a number of other anti-competitive exclusionary arrangements with computer manufacturers, Internet service providers, and content providers attempting to thwart the distribution of Netscape’s browser. The District Court Judge found in most points for the plaintiffs and ordered the breakup of Microsoft into two companies, one with all the operating systems software, and one with all other products of the company. The District Court also imposed a number of severe restrictions on the business conduct of Microsoft. We analyze the economic issues related to liability. We also analyze the applicability and effectiveness of the remedies imposed by the District Court and contrast them with other potential remedies. * Forthcoming in Journal of Industry, Competition and Trade: From Theory to Policy (August 2001)...
