Assignment 1
Week 9 Discussion
“Infeasibility”
Looking at Coverage Criteria (from Chapter 8) can you think of a real-world example involving combinatorial coverage with limits due to “infeasibility”?
For example, I can drive my car from my house to the IGU campus by taking various combinations of roads A, B, C, D, E, F, G with these considerations:
- I can drive to IGU by road ( A then B )followed by either C and then D then For followed by D and then F
- except that D is sometimes blocked during rush hour (and is, therefore, “infeasible”) and so
- when I want to take D and it’s blocked I must instead, take G.
- -> 450 words.
- Assignment 2
- Question 1: Enhancing Network Efficiency with SwitchingTask:a) Compare and contrast traditional Ethernet with high-speed Ethernet technologies, highlighting the key differences in terms of data transfer rates and networking capabilities.b) Explain how network switches improve network efficiency compared to bridges and hubs. Illustrate with a labeled diagram depicting the data flow in a switched network.Question 2: Implementing Virtual LANs for Network SegmentationTask:a) Define Virtual LANs (VLANs) and their significance in modern networking environments.b) Design a network topology that includes two or more VLANs to segment different departments or user groups within an organization. Justify your VLAN design based on security, scalability, and network performance.Question 3: Power over Ethernet (PoE) ImplementationTask:a) Investigate the concept of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and its practical applications in networking infrastructure.b) Analyze the benefits and challenges of implementing PoE in a network, considering factors such as device compatibility, power requirements, and cost-effectiveness.Assessment:The assignment will be assessed based on the following criteria:1. Comprehensive comparison of traditional and high-speed Ethernet technologies for Question 1a.2. Clear explanation and diagram of how network switches improve network efficiency for Question 1b.3. Well-designed network topology with justifications for VLAN implementation for Question 2.4. In-depth analysis of the benefits and challenges of Power over Ethernet for Question 3.5. Integration of relevant research and real-world examples to support arguments and findings.Note: Students are encouraged to use any diagramming tool of their choice (e.g., Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart) to create the network topology diagram. Additionally, all sources should be cited appropriately using the required citation style.Format and Guidelines:The essay should be concise and within the 1000-word limit.Use a clear and logical structure, including brief headings for each part.Ensure proper citation and referencing of any sources used.Demonstrate critical thinking by providing relevant examples and supporting evidence.Use academic writing style and language appropriate for a graduate-level assignment.Submission: Submit your essay as a Word document *Failure to include a cover page with the exact formatting used in the assignment policy and/or reference page will result in a 10-point deduction*Your assignment submission will be turned into Turnitin. Turnitin does verify the use of AI-generated material, and this will be considered plagiarism.
