An ethernet switch swl interconnects four switches sw2, sw3, sw4 and sw5. Each of the four switches (sw2 - sw5) interconnects four hosts A,B,C and D. Does the network performance improve or does it degrade when you replace the switch sw1 with a router? Discuss any two factors that contribute to the change in performance that you have highlighted

Design an Ethernet network to connect a single client PC to a single server. Both the client and the server will connect to their respective workgroup switches via UTP. Their workgroup switches are connected directly by a trunk link. The two switches are 900 meters apart. They need to communicate at 800 Mbps. Your design will specify the locations of any switches and the transmission link between the switches. Then add another client next to the first client. This client will also communicate with the server and will also need 800 Mbps in transmission speed. Again, your design will specify the locations of switches and the transmission link between the switches.
Think of the TCP connection setup.i. What concept is used to set up a TCP link?ii. Why is the concept needed?iii. Outline how the mechanism works with the aid of a diagram. b. How different is gateway from router? c. An enterprise you are working for needs the installation of Ten (10) new computers. Every one of the computer’s NIC (network adapter) is expected to communicate at 1000 Mbps over its twisted-pair cabling. This cabling must be able to send and receive data at the same time. Which Ethernet standard would you consider, and what technology should you utilize?

A network is made up of 70 workstations linked via a router in three distinct places. Both the workstations and servers are connected to the network using 100 Mbps switches. Rewire the workstations' network cards with 1000 Mbps switches to solve two issues. What problems does this update raise? What do you do before you upgrade your network?
Unmanaged Ethernet switches are typically hard to detect in an Ethernet segment. However, they can be made visible through over-subscription. Explain how this can happen
. If you wanted to install a pair of routers that were 3.5 inches tall each, and a pair of switches that were 1.75 inches each along with a UPS power supply that is 3.5 inches, what is the minimum number of rack units that would be required
What would happen to a circuit-switched connection, if one of the transit nodes that is part of the connection fails? Why? How is this different in a packet-switched network?
2. Ethernet frames must be at least 64 bytes long to ensure that the transmitter is still going in the event of a collision at the far end of the cable. Fast Ethernet has the same 64-byte minimum frame size but can get the bits out ten times faster. How is it possi- ble to maintain the same minimum frame size?
