1.1 Introduction:
This report is the pre-requisite of the MBA under the instruction of Mr Shah Alam. An overall
Financial Statement Analysis of an organization on that reviews based on overall Financial
position and performance. In today‘s world, only academic education does not make a student
perfect to become competitive with the outside world. Internship is highly needed to gain idea,
knowledge and experience.
Dhaka International University, one of the reputed private universities in Bangladesh, has
designed the curriculum of the MBA course such a way that the international standard
graduates will be produced. After completing academic study, one student needs to go for
further internship program in a commercial organization. From this internship program
student get the opportunity to learn facing the real business world.
1.2 Background of the Study:
Bangladesh is one of the developing countries in the world. Internet helps people to gather
knowledge about any subject from its huge information system. It also helps us to
communicate with others within a moment. As an internet service provider in Bangladesh the
companies have to register with Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission
(BTRC), and they have to take domain registration from any satellite company. Bangladesh
telecommunication regulatory commission controls 23 internet service providers. MetroNet
Bangladesh Limited is one of them. The history of MetroNet Bangladesh ltd. is not old
enough. It was established in 2001 by Mr. Ferdous Azam Khan with a corporate office and
Network Operating Centre (NOC) and some Employee. As a partner, Rahimafrooz group
invest 80%, Flora Telecom invest 10% of total investment. MNBL has three types of services
such as internet service, intranet service (data communication system) and IPTSP.

MetroNet Bangladesh Limited Network
3.1 Networking Systems:
MetroNet is the first company in Bangladesh which has installed the fully digital fiber optic
based metropolitan data communication network. And MetroNet has the fastest
communication network within overall Bangladesh in 64 districts and 200 cities. We are
maintaining more than 100 plus pops in Dhaka. The block diagram is given below:
1.1 Figure: Block Diagram

Page - 15
Now we are describing about our network:
3.2 NOC (Network Operation Centre):
We have used different types of Servers, Routers and switches to manage our network.
3.2.1 Servers: The function of a computer server is to store, retrieve and send computer files
and data to other computers on a network. Many businesses use a local network to connect a
number of computers. On a larger scale, the worldwide computer network known as the
Internet depends on a large number of servers located around the world. The files, data and
functionality of a given website is based on servers. We used different types of servers for
different types of requirement. According to our requirement we have used commonly
following servers:
1. Radius Server: Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a
client/server protocol and software that enables remote access servers to communicate
with a central server to authenticate dial-in users and authorize their access to the
requested system or service.
2. Syslog Sever: Syslog is a way for network devices to send event messages to a logging
server – usually known as a Syslog server. The Syslog protocol is supported by a wide
range of devices and can be used to log different types of events.
3. Nagios Server: Nagios, now known as Nagios Core, is a free and open source
computer-software application that monitors systems, networks and infrastructure.
Nagios offers monitoring and alerting services for servers, switches, applications and
services.
4. DNS: DNS. (Domain Name System) The Internet's system for converting alphabetic
names into numeric IP addresses. For example, when a Web address (URL) is typed into
a browser, DNS servers return the IP address of the Web server associated with that
name.
5. Mail Server: A mail server (also known as a mail transfer agent or MTA, a mail
transport agent, a mail router or an Internet mailer) is an application that receives
incoming e-mail from local users (people within the same domain) and remote senders
and forwards outgoing e-mail for delivery.
6. Cacti: Cacti is a complete network graphing solution designed to harness the power of
RRDTool's data storage and graphing functionality. Cacti provide a fast puller, advanced
graph templating, multiple data acquisition methods, and user management features out
of the box.
7. TTS Server: A TTS Server is used for maintaining Ticket which is created when any
kind of problem raised.
8. FTP: An FTP Server is a piece of software that is running on a computer and uses the
File Transfer Protocol to store and share files. Remote computers can connect
anonymously, if allowed, or with a user name and password in order to download files
from this server using a piece of software called a FTP Client.

Page - 16
9. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that
enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined
range of numbers configured for a given network.
10. MRTG: The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic load
on network links. MRTG generates HTML pages containing PNG images which provide
a LIVE visual representation of this traffic. In addition to a detailed daily view, MRTG
also creates visual representations of the traffic seen during the last seven days, the last
five weeks and the last twelve months. This is possible because MRTG keeps a log of all
the data it has pulled from the router. This log is automatically consolidated so that it
does not grow over time, but still contains all the relevant data for all the traffic seen
over the last two years. This is all performed in an efficient manner.
3.3 Routers:
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.
Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. A data packet is typically
forwarded from one router to another through the networks that constitute the internet work
until it reaches its destination node. We used routers for different types of purposes. And we
have number of routers in our NOC for following reasons:
 Intranet Router
 Internet Management
 Nationwide Inter district connectivity
 Auto Redundancy
 MPLS connectivity
 Wi-Fi connectivity
3.3.1 Intranet Router: These routers are used for internal routing, backbone monitoring,
client monitoring and some other internal purposes.
3.3.2 Internet Management Router: These routers are responsible for internet bandwidth
control, limit and distribution. After receiving the internet Bandwidth from IGW (International
Gateway Services) these routers allocate in different services, limit the bandwidth according
to client requirement and monitor the bandwidth usage of client.
3.3.3 Nationwide inter district connectivity: These routers are used for nationwide inter
district connectivity which are connected those routers used in remote location (out of Dhaka)
through telco. These routers are connected by different types of tunneling technology. The
description of tunnel is outline below:

Page - 17
01. EoIP Tunnel: Ethernet over IP (EoIP) Tunneling is a MikroTik Router OS protocol that
creates an Ethernet tunnel between two routers on top of an IP connection. The EoIP tunnel
may run over IPIP tunnel, PPTP tunnel or any other connection capable of transporting IP.
When the bridging function of the router is enabled, all Ethernet traffic (all Ethernet protocols)
will be bridged just as if there were a physical Ethernet interface and cable between the two
routers (with bridging enabled). This protocol makes multiple network schemes possible.
Network setups with EoIP interfaces:
 Possibility to bridge LANs over the Internet
 Possibility to bridge LANs over encrypted tunnels
 Possibility to bridge LANs over 802.11b 'ad-hoc' wireless networks
1.2 Figure: EoIP Tunnel
02. GRE Tunnel: Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by
Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual
point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network. A GRE tunnel is used when IP packets
need to be sent from one network to another, without being parsed or treated like IP packets by
any intervening routers. We use a GRE tunnel where IP tunneling without privacy is required -
- it's simpler and faster. Advantages of GRE tunnels include the following:
 GRE tunnels encase multiple protocols over a single-protocol backbone.
 GRE tunnels provide workarounds for networks with limited hops.
 GRE tunnels connect discontinuous sub-networks.
 GRE tunnels allow VPNs across wide area networks (WANs).

3.4 Auto Redundancy Router:
A Computer sending information to the Internet usually delivers that information to a local
router or Layer-3 switch in the computer's local subnet, which in turn forwards the
information to another router, then to the Internet. The local router is usually the computer's
default gateway. If only one router is on the subnet and that router fails, the computer can't
talk to other network subnets or the Internet. To provide fault tolerance, you need two or more
routers on each subnet. However, this type of configuration requires the computer to support
multiple default gateways (i.e., the computer must be able to detect the availability of the
default gateway). If the default router fails, the computer must fail over to an available router.
IETF Request for Comments (RFC) 816 describes how the host detects a dead gateway and
switches to another gateway. If the master gateway fails, e.g. due to a hardware fault or any
kind of network problem, the backup gateway takes over the functionality of the master
gateway. The backup gateway remains in hot standby mode as long as the master gateway is
active. How the gateways behave in the event of a failure can be defined with a configurable
set of rules.
3.5 MPLS Router:
Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a type of data-carrying technique for high-
performance telecommunications networks that directs data from one network node to the
next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups
in a routing table. MPLS provides these beneficial applications:
 Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
 Traffic Engineering (TE)
 Quality of Service (QoS)
 Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)
We are using these routers for Grameenphone, Banglalink and Airtel.
3.6 Wi-Fi Router:
As well as being able to provide wireless access to the web and other services on smartphones,
tablets and PCs, we can use these routers to make calls over the internet, saving on expensive
phone bills. You can also use it to access digital TV, using products such as Apple TV,
Amazon‘s Fire stick and Google‘s Chromecast. A wireless router works in the same way as the
router in a hard-wired home or business local area network (LAN), but allows greater mobility
for notebook or portable computers. The individual computers are equipped with small
wireless transceivers that can be plugged into either a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port or a PC
card slot. We basically use this router for guest.

Page - 19
3.7 Switch:
Switches are the main devices in our network. We use switches for various purposes like client
distribution and backbone expansion. There are three types of switches in our network. These
are given below:
1. Server
2. Client
3. Transparent
Here Client and Transparent switches are known as distribution switch. We‘ll discuss how
switches are connected in this section earlier. We can have divided into two sections:
1. Logical and
2. Physical
At first we’ll discuss about logical portion.
3.8 Logical Section:
3.8.1 Core Switch: A core switch is a high-capacity switch generally positioned within the
backbone or physical core of a network. Core switches serve as the gateway to a wide area
network (WAN) or the Internet - they provide the final aggregation point for the network and
allow multiple aggregation modules to work together. This switch is known as the Server in
the network. This is a Layer 3 switch and responsible for any kind routing, switching and
implementation.
1.3 Figure: Core Switch

Page - 20
Each and every distribution switches are directly or indirectly connected with the Core switch.
For backbone, we have applied MSTP protocol and for client we have applied VLAN concept.
3.8.2 Topology: From the block diagram, we may easily realize that we have spread on
MESH topology.
A mesh network is a network topology in which each node relays data for the network. All
mesh nodes cooperate in the distribution of data in the network. Mesh networks can relay
messages using either a flooding technique or a routing technique that employs one of two
decentralized connection arrangements: full mesh topology or partial mesh topology. In a full
mesh topology, each network node (workstation or other device) is connected directly to each
of the others. In a partial mesh topology, some nodes are connected to all the others, but others
are only connected to those nodes with which they exchange the most data. We used partial
mesh topology.
3.8.3 MSTP: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) was first specified in IEEE 802.1s and
is standardized in IEEE 802.1Q. MSTP enables multiple VLANs to be mapped to the same
spanning-tree instance, reducing the number of spanning-tree instances needed to support a
large number of VLANs.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) was first specified in IEEE 802.1s and is
standardized in IEEE 802.1Q. MSTP enables multiple VLANs to be mapped to the same
spanning-tree instance, reducing the number of spanning-tree instances needed to support a
large number of VLANs. MSTP provides multiple forwarding paths for data traffic and
enables load balancing. It improves the fault tolerance of the network because a failure in one
instance, or forwarding path, does not affect other instances.
It may be necessary to have different topologies for different VLANs, for load-sharing or
other purposes. MSTP enables the grouping of multiple VLANs with the same topology
requirements into one MST instance (MSTI). Instances are not supported in STP or RSTP, so
those two versions have the same spanning-tree in common for all of the VLANs.
In MSTP, all of the interconnected bridges that have the same MSTP configuration comprise
an MST region. An MSTP configuration consists of the configuration name, the configuration
revision, and the mapping of VLANs to MSTIs.
There is a common spanning-tree (CST) instance that spans all regions and allows different
regions to communicate between themselves. The CST is also used for traffic within the
region for any VLANs not covered by an MSTI.
MSTP has a backward compatibility mode in which it can fall back to STP or RSTP operation
on links with bridges that support only STP or RSTP.
The maximum number of MSTP instances supported in Juniper Networks MX Series 3D
universal Edge Routers is 64.

VLAN: A virtual LAN (VLAN) is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a
computer network at the data link layer (OSI layer 2). LAN is an abbreviation of local area
network. To subdivide a network into virtual LANs, one configures a network switch or
router.
VLAN Network: A VLAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured to
communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a
number of different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical
connections, they are extremely flexible.
VLAN ID: VLAN Tagging is the practice of inserting a VLAN ID into a packet header in
order to identify which VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) the packet belongs to. More
specifically, switches use the VLAN ID to determine which port(s), or interface(s), to send a
broadcast packet to.
How VLAN Works: Like a router, it partitions the network into logical segments, which
provides better administration, security, and management of multicast traffic. Each VLAN in a
network has an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag in the Layer 2
header of packets transmitted on a VLAN.
Purposes: The basic reason for splitting a network into VLANs is to reduce congestion on a
large LAN. To understand this problem, we need to look briefly at how LANs have developed
over the years. Initially LANs were very flat—all the workstations were connected to a single
piece of cable, or to sets of chained hubs.
3.9 Physical Section:
We have 115 pops in Dhaka. Most of the distribution switches are situated in a pop. Each pop
is connected with another pop by optical fiber medium using media converter. Figure shows
the typical block diagram.
1.4 Figure: Block diagram of Physical connectivity

Page - 22
3.9.1 POP: A point of presence is a physical location, either part of the facilities of a
telecommunications provider that the ISP rents or a separate location from the
telecommunications provider that houses servers, routers, ATM switches and digital/analog
call aggregators. Pops are used to serve the client in different are which is directly or
indirectly connected with core switch in NOC.
3.9.2 Optical fiber: Fiber optics (optical fibers) are long, thin strands of very pure glass about
the size of a human hair. They are arranged in bundles called optical cables and used to
transmit signals over long distances. Fiber optic data transmission systems send information
over fiber by turning electronic signals into light.
3.9.3 Media Converter:
Media converter characteristics:
 Expands network distances with the conversion of UTP to fiber and the extension of
fiber links
 Retains investments in pre-existing devices
 Boosts the potential of present fiber with WDM wavelengths
New applications for media converters:
 Remotely handled converters and multi-port switch configurations
 Conversion of DM wavelengths to enhance the bandwidth capacity
 Facilitate fiber-to-the-desktop
Backbone and all the clients are connected in the same way according to block diagram. We
are serving a single client from a single switch port.
We have to keep all the records of fiber. We have kept the all the record using AutoCAD
software in three different sections which are given below:
1. Latest Map
2. Distribution and
3. Backbone

Page - 23
01. Latest Map: We use latest map to keep the record of all clients and backbone and other
information. For Example: There are a lot of fiber jointer exist in network. Latest MAP
shows us. Where are these jointers located and which way fiber goes through the pop or
client.
1.5 Figure: Distribution MAP
02. Distribution: This document is used for which fiber used for which client from the pop
end and it distributed from the pop to client end.
1.6 Figure: Distribution MAP

Page - 24
03. Backbone: We have kept all information and record about the backbone in this section.
Backbone NOC to pop and pop to pop. We have more than two redundancy foes an
individual pop. All the records are kept in this section.
1.7 Figure: Backbone MAP
3.9.4 Out of Dhaka: We are connected with Telco‘s E1 or Router from any of our Switch
port. Generally, we have settled up a distribution switch in each Telco. Each switch port
severs an individual remote area. At the remote area, from Telco we have received our signal
through a router and then distributed with distribution switch. We have already discussed
about this routers function (EoIP Tunnel, GRE Tunnel etc.). Each remote area is directly or
indirectly connected with Dhaka.
Conclusion: At present, we are able to connect you to virtually anywhere in the country with
Point to Point or Multi-Point Connectivity offering different services such as Dedicated
Internet Access, Unified Communications (Data, Voice & Video) Services managed and
supported by our experienced & certified professionals trained in understanding the respective
data transmission environment, including local regulations and procedures.
With our converged network infrastructure that cost-effectively delivers new and future
services. Our network supports the bandwidth and network requirements for any organizations
small, medium or large. Our infrastructure allows us to offer key services such as Level 3
(MPLS IP VPN), Level 2 (VPLS), and Level 1 (Optical VPN) VPN services. By combining
innovation, advanced technology, experience we are able to offer network services for secure
banking On-Line Transactions, IP VPN, MPLS VPN or flexible Ethernet design to various
organizations.

4.9.4 Decomposition of ROE:
Decomposition of ROE is sometimes referred to as DuPont analysis because it was developed
originally at that company. Decomposing ROE involves expressing the basic ratio as the
product of component ratios. Because each of these component ratios is an indicator of a
distinct aspect of a company‘s performance that affects ROE, the decomposition allows us to
evaluate how these different aspects of performance affected the company‘s profitability as
measured by ROE.
Decomposing ROE is useful in determining the reasons for changes in ROE over time for a
given company and differences in ROE, for difference in ROE different companies in a given
time period.
Interpretation: The tax burden reflects the relation of after-tax profits to pretax profits, the
increase from 52 percent to 65 percent indicates that taxes declined as a percentage of pretax
profits. This decline in average tax rates could be due to lower tax rates from new legislation
or revenue in a lower tax jurisdiction. An interest burden factor greater than 100 percent
means that nonoperating income exceeded interest expense in all three years. Operating
margin (EBIT margin) improved, particularly from 2013 to 2015, indicating the company‘s
operations were more profitable. The company‘s efficiency (asset turnover) increased each
year as did its leverage. Overall, the trend in ROE (doubling in three years) did not result from
a single aspect of the company‘s performance, but instead was a function of lower average tax
rates, increasing operating profits, greater efficiency, and increased use of leverage.
Additional research on the causes of the various changes is required in order to develop
expectations about the company‘s future performance.

5.3 Recommendations:
MetroNet Bangladesh Limited must control costs and increase their efficiency. The
distribution expenses must be decreased and some of their product lines must be scrutinized
for improvement. However, from the observation and depth interview conducted during the
internship, the following recommendations are made: These recommendations, I believe, if
implemented, would give MNBL competitive advantage over its competitors.
 MetroNet should control the debtor‘s collection period which is most important part of
current assets.
 MetroNet have to manage their assets carefully so that they can achieve maximum
benefit from the investment and increase the return on asset ratio by increasing net
income.
 MetroNet should set up lead reclamation facility.
 Increase customer satisfaction level for reach to company goals.
 The company should do research to minimize the cost by keeping the same quality.
For that purpose, they can introduce backward integration for producing raw materials
to take cost advantage.
