Homework
Learning Objective
Assess data communication and networking options for a computer system.
Purpose
The main focus of this homework is performance factors and system implementations of clustering systems for a local area network (LAN) and a wide area network (WAN). Identifying the communication protocols of the OSI model can help network administrators plan and improve network performance and troubleshoot and avert errors that could take place during data transmission in a clustered system.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation of at least three slides that depict a cluster system connected over a LAN (local area network) and a WAN (wide area network). Include in the presentation each layer of the OSI model and clearly depict the communication protocols and devices that operate at each layer. Ensure that the following are represented in the presentation:
a. A cluster where the systems are connected over a LAN.
b. A cluster where the systems are connected over a WAN.
c. In the diagram, provide a depiction of communication protocols and devices used at each layer of the OSI model.
d. Drawings may be performed using a presentation tool or exported from Microsoft Visio or Apache OpenOffice Draw.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
a. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
c. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
