Section-B
Case Study
There
is one computer in New Delhi & another in Bangalore which need to be
connected with a data rate of 10 Kbps.
There are different ways to achieve inter-connectivity using any of the
following options:
- Coaxial Cable
- Infrared Communication
- Micro-Wave Link
- Satellite Communications
- Optical Fiber
- GPRS
- Telephone Line Modems
- Leased Lines
- ISDN
- ATM
- Proprietary Communications Technology
Each
approach has its advantages/disadvantages & cost. Some approaches may be feasible but some may
not be feasible.
Case
Questions:
5. a. Describe the above-mentioned connectivity options.
b.
How would you connect these computers
& why? Give justifications – if
cost, performance, & feasibility are
important considerations?
c.
If instead of two computers, there were
two LAN(s) (with data rates of 10 Gbps) which had to be interconnected, then how would you connect them? Give justifications.
d.
What is Infrared communication? Would you use Infrared communication to
achieve connectivity in either of the
following scenarios:
I.
Connect two
computers with data rate of 10 Kbps
II.
Connect two
LAN(s) with data rate of 10 Gbps
Give justifications to support
your answer.
