LO1 Examine networking principles and their protocols.
Part 1- Discuss the importance of Networking to the current trend by considering the real world
on how the industry moves and how the past network was used going through the relevant
concepts in the networking sector, with valid examples in your explanation. (note – you could
also include the roles of networking, types of networking and further more)
Finally justify the Importance of introducing Networking to speed tech as described in the
scenario.
Further Discuss the benefits and constraints of different Networking systems types (e.g. peer
based, client-server) explanation should be in brief with related networking diagrams
With comparison discuss the pros and Cons of Networking systems discussed above
(Report)
Part 2- Speed tech is planning to get a broadband (ADSL) internet connection from SLT. They
are providing ZTE ADSL wireless router (ZXV10-W300) with the internet connection. Wi-Fi is
considered as the main networking technology when it comes to implementing Wireless Local
Area Networks.
Briefly explain on the WIFI technology and its standard meanwhile analyzing the features
and provide strengths and weakness of Wireless ADSL Router, in order give a brief on the
transmission media and the components of it
Guided media
Unguided media
You also need to discuss on some of the ISP (Internet Service Providers) in Sri Lanka on
their growth and expansion giving out some examples considering the current industry.
Finally come to a valid justification detailing on the most suitable technology considering
the ethernet or WIFI to be used in speed tech.
Part 3- As discussed above in the assignment brief and guidance, Imagine, with the position
your holding in the organization you are working in the networking industry and your supposed
to create and present a presentation explaining the basics of networking components to speed
tech. *
In your Presentation Use appropriate images, diagrams and tables in the presentation and use
technical language accurately.
Discuss all the factors needed to form a Networking environment according to your point of
view. Information’s should be added to the slide to the point and not more than 15 slides
(Presentation) (Report)
Part 4- Explain the term Network Topology and the uses of it in the industrial exposure
through a research on the growth of the network history.
, Describe the types of Networking Topologies briefly to the point with related diagrams and
comparison. (Note: explanations should be in detail with examples)
Considering the topologies select a topology which is the most suitable to the scenario in
order to implement the client-server architecture in the lab with relevant diagram and
Justification considering the part 1 on Networking Systems. (Report)
