PART II: Please answer the following questions
with a well-prepared essay.
1. How do LANs
differ from MANs, WANs, and backbones?
2. Describe the
seven layers of the OSI Model and what they do.
3. How does a
thin client differ from a thick client?
4. Compare and
contrast the three types of addresses (application, network, data-link) used in
a network.
5. What is a
subnet and why do networks need them?
6. How does
dynamic addressing work? What are the strengths and weaknesses of dynamic
addressing?
7. Why would a
network manager want to have only TCP/IP as their transport/network layer
protocols?
8. Explain how
hierarchical, flat, and collapsed backbones work.
9. Which
backbone architecture is the most flexible? Why?
10.Which has greater throughput: FDDI,
ATM, or 1Gbps Ethernet?
11. Explain how 802.11b differs from
802.11a.
12. How does 802.11b differ from 802.3
in terms of topology, media access control and data rate?
13. How does a WPAN differ from a WLAN?
14. Why is it important to analyze needs
in terms of both application systems and users?
15. What are some major problems that
can cause network designs to fail?
16. What issues are important to
consider in explaining a network design to senior management?
17. What is a traffic analysis and when
is it useful?
18. Describe the basic components and
tasks involved in the Network Design and Implementation process.
