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 />

disadvantages?
