...Chapter 5 Case Project Assignment for Chapter 5 In this assignment, use your problem-solving skills and information presented in this chapter to answer the following real-life scenario. Make sure to address all of the questions posed in the following Case Project. You have been asked to design the entire cabling system for a medical instrument manufacturer’s new warehouse. The company already has three buildings, each 1/2 a mile apart, and the warehouse, 2 miles away, will be its fourth building. Currently, the buildings run on separate networks, but the company wants to be able to exchange data among them. For example, the Quality Control Department in Building 1 would like to be able to access servers in the Research Department in Building 2. In addition, the Sales Department in Building 3 wants to conduct video training for its representatives in the field via the Internet. What kind of transmission media would you recommend for inside each different building and department of the medical instrument company and why? What type of media would you recommend using to connect the buildings together and why? Finally, what kind of media should the company use for connecting the corporate WAN to its ISP and ultimately, the Internet? NOTE: The above assignment needs to be turned in as a single Microsoft Word file containing only your answer to the Case Project for Chapter 5. This assignment is turned in using the Assignment Submission for this project found on the Moodle page...

...1.6.7 MANET CHALLENGES A Manet environment has to overcome certain issues of limitation and inefficiency. It includes: The wireless link characteristics are time-varying in nature: There are transmission impediments like fading, path loss, blockage and interference that adds to the susceptible behavior of wireless channels. The reliability of wireless transmission is resisted by different factors. Limited range of wireless transmission – The limited radio band results in reduced data rates compared to the wireless networks. Hence optimal usage of bandwidth is necessary by keeping low overhead as possible. Packet losses due to errors in transmission – MANETs experience higher packet loss due to factors such as hidden...

...Midterm Examination Written Responses Presented in ITS-331 Designing for Security By QUESTION 1 In Chapter 1 of Weaver, Weaver, and Farwood (2013), we considered various THREATS to network security, the FUNDAMENTAL goals of network security, and how LAYERED approaches to defense contributed to the overall security posture of an organization’s information infrastructure. Chapter 2 explored Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Model, and how various protocols operated within, as well as across OSI layers to enable telecommunications to function. In a scholarly peer-reviewed journal article entitled: "Cyber security in the Smart Grid: Survey and challenges," Wang and Lu (2013) examined security requirements, network vulnerabilities, attack countermeasures, secure communication protocols and architectures in the U.S. Smart Grid. Based upon what you read in Chapters, one, and two of Weaver et al. (2013), as well as the journal article, COMPARE and CONTRAST Vulnerabilities, Attacks, or Threats shared from the text against those provided within the journal article.
