Transmission Basics (graded)<br />

The lecture covers several standards. Which ones are most common? Which ones are more or<br />

less obsolete? What can you find out about the future of transmission and media types? What is<br />

happening with 10 Gbps? What about 100 Gbps?<br />

Networking Hardware and Topologies (graded)<br />

Let’s figure out what kind of networking equipment an organization would need to buy. You can<br />

make assumptions on size and budget. What do we need to purchase? Why do we need to<br />

purchase it? That is, what will it do for us? How do we hook them together? That is, how do we<br />

cable them (or not cable them) together? Why is there such a big difference in price with the<br />

brands? How do network topologies figure into our selections and designs?<br />

Week 3 discussion<br />

TCP/IP (graded)<br />

There is an alphabet soup of protocols in TCP/IP: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, TCP, UDP, IP,<br />

ARP, ICMP, and others. What are the characteristics of these protocols? What are they used for?<br />

Has there been an evolution in any of these protocols? Are there any weaknesses or<br />

disadvantages?
