Draft
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.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.

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.Write a 250- to

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?
  Consider the following scenarioYour Company
moves into a new building. Marketing is on the
first floor, engineering is on the second floor,
operations are on the third floor, and the call
center is on the fourth floor. The LAN is
organized neatly, with each floor having its own
switch. Some of the groups on the floor are
connected through hubs and the network is planned
for orderly growth. The company grows faster and
much differently than was planned, however, and
the call center must be expanded. Some of the
engineering department employees on the second
floor and operations employees

Manufacturing (UOP)
NTC 249 Week 5 DQs and Summary (UOP)
How can wireless interface with a WAN? Discuss
security concerns with wireless and best
practices to protect a wireless system?Worldwide
Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is
a very popular topic today since it offers the
possibility of wireless broadband signal
capability over large geographic areas. WLAN
signals suffer from a number of potential
degradations such as multipath and fading.
Balakrishnan, et al. (2009) analyzes the WiMAX
technology in these conditions. An interesting
side note to recognize is that this analysis was
done via computer simulation using software
called OPNET
  As a Learning Team, finalize the network design
for Acme Manufacturing.The final presentation
should be 10-12 pages (400 words per page) plus
any diagrams or charts needed to explain the
design.Submit to instructor
