...Introduction:TCP has responsibility of providing end-to-end reliable data on non-reliable Internet.This project is based on one powerful performance measurement technique called “Passive measurement”. Passive measurement refers to the processing of measuring network, without infusing any traffic on network.Passive measurements used for monitoring traffic volume but can be used for network performance In contrast, some probe packets are introduced in Active measurement. Active measurement, traffic injected through external sources for end-to-end data transmission, these artificially introduced packets may affect the performance of other applications between network paths..“IP networks supported only a best effort service”. TCP Operation and Performance:TCP was specifically designed to provide a reliable endto-end byte stream over unreliable internetwork and responsible for internet stability.TCP using basic technique as “positive acknowledgement with retransmission. Reliability is basic issue in TCP that is achieved through a strong concept “sliding window”. The major problem with simple positive acknowledgement technique is, excessive amount of network bandwidth consumption. RWIN is very important to calculate “Throughput” of network.Sliding window protocol solves the bandwidth problem by transmitting packets before acknowledgement received. Sliding Window Mechanism and Window Size:The Sliding window performance can be judged through the size of window and the network speed...

...What Is Arbitration? Arbitration is a fast way to get a decision when you are in a dispute. Arbitration is more flexible and less formal than court. Usually, an arbitration can be scheduled faster than a trial. Sometimes, if the parties want, arbitrators can decide things that judges are not allowed to decide. Arbitration is like a trial but less formal. In arbitration, two sides present their evidence to an arbitrator. The arbitrator decides who wins and who loses. An arbitrator does the job that a judge or jury would normally do in court. Why do cases go to arbitration? Who is an arbitrator? What kinds of cases go into arbitration? How does a case end up in mandatory arbitration? What is the cost of mandatory arbitration? How does arbitration work? Can an arbitrator's decision be appealed? Are there rules governing arbitration? Related pages Why do cases go to arbitration? Cases go to arbitration for one of two reasons. * Mandatory: Arbitration is required by law for some court cases. State law requires that some cases filed in state courts go to mandatory arbitration. * Voluntary: Parties may agree to arbitration before or after filing a court case, or may have a contract that requires them to arbitrate disputes. Who is an arbitrator? In mandatory arbitration, an arbitrator can be either a lawyer or a non-lawyer. The parties get to choose the arbitrator. However, if they cannot agree, the court selects an arbitrator. Arbitrators are...

We chose the United States, the soft drink capital. Soft drinks are invented in the United States, and has the highest consumption of soft drinks.

Main problem: To analyse the case about the Cola War and the position of Coca-Cola a main problem is formulated. ‘What could coca cola do to remain its market position and stay ahead of its competitors?’ Sub problems: To finally give an answer to the main problem sub problems are needed. They will help to find answers to different segments in the case. These answers to the sub problems together will provide the answer to the main problem. The sub problems can be arranged under different headings and are as follows: What lies in the future of Coca-Cola? • What are the...

Define variable pay and identify three elements of successful pay-for-performance plans. Discuss three types of individual incentives. Explain three ways that sales employees are typically compensated. Identify key concerns that must be addressed when designing group/team variable pay plans.

...Derivation of the LM curve Reading: AB, chapter 10, section 3. The LM curve, "L" denotes Liquidity and "M" denotes money, is a graph of combinations of real income, Y, and the real interest rate, r, such that the money market is in equilibrium (i.e. real money supply = real money demand). The graphical derivation of the LM curve is illustrated below. The left-hand side of the graph illustrates money market equilibrium for a given level of Y. For example, when Y = Y0 the equilibrium real interest rate is 5%. The right-hand-side of the graph gives the LM curve. The LM curve is plotted with the real interest rate on the vertical axis and real income (GDP) on the horizontal axis. Each point on the LM curve represents a money market equilibrium for a particular real interest rate and income pair (r, Y). For example, the money market equilibrium at (r=5%, Y=Y0) is given by the black (middle) dot on the LM curve. At a higher level of income, Y1 > Y0, the money demand curve shifts up and right and a new equilibrium occurs at r = 7%. This equilibrium is represented by the blue (upper) dot on the LM curve. Similarly, at a lower level of income Y2 < Y0 the money demand curve shifts down and left and a new equilibrium occurs at r = 3%. This equilibrium is given the by the red (lower) dot on the LM curve. The above analysis shows that the LM curve is an upward sloping curve in the graph with r on the vertical axis and Y on the horizontal axis. Every point on the LM curve...

American genius, Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) along with his assistant Thomas Watson invented the device. It was March 10, 1876, an important day for human civilization, the first step towards developing means of communication. We’ve come a long way since then. Today, telephone is a part of our everyday life. Besides telephone, now-a-days mobile phones are playing a great role to communicate from one place to another. Today, telecommunication is one of the major parts of life. Nowadays, the phone is not only used for making calls, among many other functions it’s used for communicating through text-messages and so called multi-media messages, as well as to connect us to the internet. The opportunities that lie in the telecom market seem endless and the growing demand for mobile telephony systems is creating a world-wide market. The telecom industry is nowadays not only by means of millions, but by means of billions. Actors in this industry are seeking the most profitable markets throughout the world. In this assignment we will discuss about the mobile telecom market situation and their competitive analysis. v ABOUT BANGLADESH Bangladesh is one of the poorest, most densely populated, least developed countries in the world.
