Discussion Question 1
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· What are two WANs that you have used? What equipment
or devices were used? Describe the network design and
configuration? Respond to your classmates, and discuss how
your examples differ.
Discussion Question 2
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· Chou (2009) discusses a very common situation in business,
communications between branch offices, and the home
office data center. The author presents two methodologies
to improve throughput between the offices and the data
center: data compression and caching. Analyze and discuss
the common types of data used in your company to test the
suitability of these methods. Additionally, discuss where, in
general, data compression can be used and where data
compression cannot be used.
Discussion Question 3
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· Soares, et al. (2008) review all the present protocol

2. segments necessary for VoIP telephony. Protocol such as
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323 are prevalent but
have limitations. Analyze and discuss the limitations of SIP
and H.323 as presently used and include in your discussion
effects of the proposed Advanced Multimedia System (AMS)
protocol and whether it will fix the existing problems.
Discussion Question 1
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· What are the advantages and disadvantages of VoIP? What
VoIP services exist? What equipment may be necessary in a
small office/home office (SOHO) and large enterprise
environment?
Discussion Question 2
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· The Internet does not guarantee delivery. Multimedia
services such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV) require
levels of quality of service (QoS) for acceptable performance.
Doverspike et al. (2009) have created a set of internal
protocols that help create a QOS scenario to allow IPTV
signals to be delivered in an acceptable fashion. Pick any two
of the author’s techniques and show how they contribute to
the creation of a data stream with QOS.
Discussion Question 3
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· Based on the Khan and Tahboub (2009) article, analyze and
discuss the advantages and disadvantage of the MPLS
protocol and what services are most likely to use that
protocol in the network.

open systems interconnection (OSI) model and how it relates
to a network. Your response should include answers to the
following:
· On which layers of the OSI model do WAN protocols
operate?
· What are some of these protocols?
· On which OSI layers do switches and routers operate?
· If routers reside at more than one layer, what is the
difference between the OSI layers?
Discussion Question 1
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· Conduct an Internet search to locate an example of a
private network and a public network. How is each network
used? What are the pros and cons of each?

Short Answers
Provide answers to each of the following questions:
Identify the functions of a CSU/DSU. How are they used in a
corporate environment?
Integrated services digital networks (ISDN) are sometimes
used in locations that do not support DSL or cable modem
connections. Your choices may be analog modems or an ISDN
connection in those remote locations. Describe three
benefits ISDNs have over regular dial-up modem
connections.
Compare and contrast packet and circuit switching. Which is
more commonly used? What are the advantages and
disadvantages of each?
Describe the three main types of firewalls. Explain how each
type protects the network. Determine which firewall is the

5. most efficient and why.
Your answers should be 3-4 pages long in total (400 words
per page).
Discussion Question 1
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· What are some of the greatest security risks to a WAN?
Provide an example of one risk and discuss the potential
consequences and possible precautions.
Discussion Question 2
Write a 250- to 300-word short-answer response to the
following:
· Network attacks come in many forms. Broadley, et al.
(2009) point out a new method where the attacker creates a
covert communication channel by changing the timing of part
of a real signal and sneaking in. Analyze and discuss whether
your system at work could be attacked by this methodology
and if you think so what are you going to do about it?
