Large Scale Networks for Communities
Large Scale Networks for Communities
The technology of large scale community networks is no longer new, yet the feasibility of such a project is often daunting. The core areas of concern when developing a large scale network (LSN) are Traffic, Topology, Routing, and Control. Some examples of current LSN’s are School Networks, Research and Education Networks, E-Government Networks, Health Networks, Enterprise Networks, Overlay Networks like P2P service delivery and social-techno networks (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin). (Cite) LSN’s must be reliable, secure, manageable, optimally provisioned and extensible to keep up with the growth of technology both beneficial and potential threats. We will delve into the past perceptions of the state of the internet provider and why the idea of large scale local networks had such an appeal. The Internet has become a gold mine for new, exciting and challenging mathematical problems, where scale, complexity, and dynamic play key roles. We will determine the potential marketability and also inevitable growing pains that would come from the endeavor.
Over the past decade, the transition to broadband was bigger than expected and happened faster than most people expected. There was a time when someone would mention being able to receive computer files through the local cable box; at the time this was thought to be approximately 20 years away in time. No single access technology has been dominant but cable modem and DSL technologies currently are the front runners and are expected to maintain their leadership role. Execution, bundling, customer service, and billing will be more important than the access technology. At the turn of the century broadband wa...

The technology is much more stable than it was in the 1990’s and protection is keeping pace with the ever present threats. The technology is not new, but the idea is still very sound. The challenging mathematical problems, development of the scale, complexity, and dynamics are the things that have created the Internet we now know. The potential for bottlenecks and other hurdles will always be present; however, the ability for a small community to reduce the cost and create a virtual meeting lodge is very realistic and attainable.

Compared with its competitors, Rogers is aiming to offer the best Internet services with higher upload and download speed, more monthly usage at lower price for families, business and companies. There are more than 4 million families in Canada enjoy Internet service from Rogers1. “Most of these customers are in Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland representing approximately 30% of the total Canadian market” 1. The advanced digital hybrid fiber-coax network provides market leading high-speed broadband Internet access speeds and online viewing to various large enterprise, government and carrier
National Broadband Network is a fibre and wireless based communication that would provide a speed of about 12 MB per second. It is estimated that 93per cent of the project will be fibre to node while the remaining 7per cent will be through wireless means. Telstra is the current broadband provider and coalition Rudd government of Liberal and National party has decided to provide an open acces data network to all citizens so that the fixed line customers of Telstra will migrate to the Local Access Network of NBN Co Limited. It is expected that after the establishment of NBN, the government will keep upgrading the services. The first goal of the setting of NBN is to be the only broadband provider in Australia. The Layer 2 wholesale will be the broadband for personal and professional customers. According to the financial agreement between the NBN Co and Telstra, NBN is ...

The exponential growth of the internet traffic has further asserted the need for high download and upload speed requirement for broadband. The entire residential population in the country is in need of high broadband rates. The main reason why US is lagging in broadband speed and pricing is not because of the technology but because
The history of the internet takes us back to the pioneering of the network and the development of capable technologies. The explosion of the internet’s popularity of the 1990’s was large and dramatic, boosting our economy and then helped to bring it into a major recession. One can only hope that the explosion becomes organized and slightly standardized in the interest of the general public. Despite all of these conjectures and speculations only time can tell the future of the largest network in the world.
Networks are demonstrated not only as a present technology but also a new figure of power and a management form which is decentralized. The world is transformed by globalization into a network society which is constructed by numerous connections that link
Berean¡¦s existing network infrastructure is wire line, and uses a T1. Remote users access the network through a dial-up modem pool. Berean¡¦s wire line network model severely limits the accessibility and effectiveness of the Berean network. For example, employees in Berean facilities are unable to access the network easily from meetings, the cafeteria, or anywhere other than their offices. In addition, the effectiveness of remote users is limited by the slow speed of present-day dial-up modem connections.

Since the development of the Internet in late 1980s, communication has changed enormously. The Internet has altered the lives of people in the world in a way that was never imagined before. As little as a decade ago, if someone tried to explain the Internet and World Wide Web, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to understand. Computers were just beginning to become popular and few individuals realized the capacity of one PC, let alone the power of a network of electronic technology. By linking together computers, users could remotely access others on the network, share information, and send electronic mail as easily as pushing a button. Millions of people with shared interests, exchange information and build communities through Web sites, email and instant-messaging software.
In our society, there has been a revolution which competes that of the industrial revolution. It is called technological revolution. At the top of the technological revolution is what we call, the Internet. In the following report we will be discussing about what the internet is about in general and how it might be in the future, why it is necessary in our everyday lives, and why has it become so important to everyone (i.e. companies, individuals ).
The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The Internet enables communication and transmission of data between computers at different locations. The Internet is a computer application that connects tens of thousands of interconnected computer networks that include 1.7 million host computers around the world. The basis of connecting all these computers together is by the use of ordinary telephone wires. Users are then directly joined to other computer users at there own will for a small connection fee per month. The connection conveniently includes unlimited access to over a million web sites twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are many reasons why the Internet is important these reasons include: The net adapts to damage and error, data travels at 2/3 the speed of light on copper and fiber, the internet provides the same functionality to everyone, the net is the fastest growing technology ever, the net promotes freedom of speech, the net is digital, and can correct errors. Connecting to the Internet cost the taxpayer little or nothing, since each node was independent, and had to handle its own financing and its own technical requirements.
The Internet has become a key ingredient of strenuous and busy lifestyle. ‘Internet’ has become the central-hub for communication, explorations, connecting with people or for official purposes. Resultantly, Internet growth has led to a plethora of new developments, such as decreased margins for companies as consumers turn more and more to the internet to buy goods and demand the best prices.
