MET CS 625 Business Data Communication and Networks Concepts Assignment 5 Safraz Bacchus June 15th, 2021 Review the hypothetical scenario below, then answer the subsequent questions. Metropolis College is a smaller-size college that now has three campuses. Its main (and original) campus is located in downtown Metropolis, where about 600 students attend. About two years ago, the college established two satellite campuses in two smaller nearby towns – Angel Grove and Springfield – in an effort to better accommodate students living outside of Metropolis. Each satellite campus has one smaller classroom with a video feed to the main campus, and a lab where students can work on their assignments. Minimal network infrastructure has been setup at the satellite offices. Choosing the right network setup is a challenge for Metropolis College given that its smaller size gives it access to fewer resources. The main campus connects to the Internet with a 10 Gbps fiber link, Angel Grove with a 7 Mbps DSL line, and Springfield with a 25 Mbps cable modem. Each campus has its own direct link to the Internet, and there are no WAN links between campuses. While Internet connectivity works well at the Metropolis campus, there are issues with Internet connectivity on both other campuses. In addition, both satellite campuses have been hacked in different ways due to network security issues. Metropolis College has hired you to identify the problems and propose solutions for their network issues. Issue 1 – Satellite Office Speeds Both satellite offices have Internet connectivity issues. Instructors at the Angel Grove campus often complain that the video feed to the main campus often stalls to the point that it’s not viable, and they have given up using it. Students using the Angel Grove lab machines complain that the software they use, which relies heavily on Internet communications, is painfully slow, almost to the point of being unusable. While students are not happy with the software performance on the Springfield campus, they are still able to use it to get their work done. Unfortunately, the video feed for instructors on the Springfield campus has the same issues as the Angel Grove campus. As a whole, people are becoming quite frustrated with these issues, and Metropolis College is worried that they may lose students, and even possibly instructors. With some research you discover the following Internet connectivity options exist at the Angel Grove campus. Angel Grove Campus Option Cost Use a DSL line at the maximum speed available, 12 Mbps. $60 per month Use a cable modem. Three speeds are available: o 25 Mbps at $65 per month o 50 Mbps at $90 per month o 100 Mbps at $140 per month
