IPv4 The purpose of this paper is to present a proposal to implement Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) also known as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) structure as our primary means of communication within our network infrastructure. We are currently using a legacy mainframe system that limits are current means of network connectivity with other evolving network systems and it is in our best interest that we look into the future as well as keep up with changing times as Information Technicians. I will present a detailed analysis of the TCP/IP brief history, understanding of IPv4 addresses, subnetting, configuration, and the benefits of using the TCP/IP structure. This will greatly increase the overall success rate of our business Analysis Our current network infrastructure is using a legacy mainframe system and our collective knowledge as a staff is limited to this network suite only. This is devastating to the productivity and the overall communication of our organization. It is imperative that we expand our horizons, learn and implement newer technologies. This will collectively increase our knowledge of information technologies as a whole. Also, this will allow us to be competitive with many other organizations using newer computer systems which are currently using the latest version of the Internet protocol. Proposed solution The latest version of the Internet protocol which we should be implemented is IPv4, also known as the TCP/IP structure. The reason why IPv4 is referred to as TCP/IP for the first two main protocols, out of its suite of protocols, which were developed by United States Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, also known as DARPA around the 1970s (Kozierok, 2005). ... ... middle of paper ... ...ge with current technologies.

Lab 1 demonstrates the capabilities of congestion control algorithms implemented by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It provides three scenarios to simulate these algorithms and will later compare the results.
With an IPv4 network, all the work consisting of network renumbering and assigning of new address schemes would had been done manually. Another useful feature of IPv6 is the multi-homing technique. It allows simultaneous connections which are established to two ISPs. Compared to IPv4, IPv6 has a much simpler packet header structure, which is designed to minimize the time and efforts that go in to header processing. IPv6 offers better end-to-end connectivity than its predecessor IPv4. The most exciting applications to emerge in todays world is peer-to-peer applications such as multi-player online games, video-conferencing (streaming), file sharing and
This article deals with the topic of how organizations should go about implementing new technology systems. The article is built around Murphy's Law that, "Whatever can go wrong, will." When organizations implement new system a lot of know problems cannot be avoided and unforeseen problems arise with even grater frequency. Chew outlines seven points to help launch a new system with greater success since they are essential for long-term survival.
Sending data through the internet efficiently has always posed many problems. The two major technologies used, Ethernet and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), have done an admirable job of porting data, voice and video from one point to another. However, they both fall short in differing areas; neither has been able to present the "complete" package to become the single, dominant player in the internet market. They both have dominant areas they cover. Ethernet has dominated the LAN side, while ATM covers the WAN (backbone). This paper will compare the two technologies and determine which has a hand-up in the data trafficking world.
The internet has taken the world so far in its short commercial life; the future of the internet provides limitless possibilities of a much different future. The internet was created to test new networking technologies developed to eventually aid the military. The Arpanet, advanced research projects agency network, became operational in 1968 after it was conceived by Leanard Roberts (Watrall, T101, 2/2). Ever since the Arpanet began in 1968, it has grown exponentially in the number of connected users. Traffic and host population became too big for the network to maintain, due to the killer application known as email created in 1972.
TCP/IP is a client/server model. The communication of TCP/IP is point-to-point; each communication is from point in the network to another point. TCP/IP and other applications that use TCP/IP are considered “stateless”. It is “stateless” because each request by the client is unrelated to any previous requests. The network path is freed up because of t...
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard used to allow multiple PCs on a private network to share a single, globally routable IPv4 address. NAT enables a user to have a large set of addresses internally and usually one address externally. The main reason NAT is often deployed is because IPv4 addresses are getting scarce. NAT is an immediate, but temporary, solution to the IPv4 address exhaustion problem that will eventually be rendered unnecessary with the deployment of the IPv6. The Internet Engineering Task Force has been aware of the impending depletion of the current address space for almost a decade.
...elp ISPs to overcome the situation but they need to find some other final solutions. The other groups are IANA and RIRs in terms of losing the control over the IP address allocations. Considering the fact that IPv4 depletion has been started over two decades ago, this paper has tried to investigate some of the reasons behind the internet survivals despite the significant incensement of the numbers of new connected devices such as smart phones. It can be said that using NAT technique or transferring the spare IPv4 address between different regions are some of the effective reasons of internet survival in the past few years. Finally, it can be concluded that IPv4 will continue to be existed as the basics of the internet for a limited time, but the new features and benefits of IPv6 will make it more reliable and it will become the mainstream of the internet ultimately.

This memorandum will attempt to explain the Open Systems Interconnection Model, known more simply as the OSI Model. The OSI Model has seven levels, and these levels will be discussed in detail. Particular mention will be made to which level TCP/IP functions with the OSI Model.
This entire information gathering is the beginning of the Logical design of the network. It will determine many different aspects of the network and form a basic starting point to make other major decisions. From this information the IP structure of the networ...
There are many factors which reveal that there has been massive internet growth over the years. In 2010 it was revealed that the internet was running out of addresses to assign to new devices and this is due to massive web growth, particularly mobile internet. (Kennedy, 2010) This is one of the signs that there is a high demand which cannot be met by supply and there is a need for intervention to meet the growth....
TCP/IP is a network model which enables the communication across the Internet. The most fundamental protocol on which the Internet is built. This is made up of the 2 common networking protocols, TCP, for Transmission Control Protocol, and IP, for Internet Protocol. TCP maintains and handles packet flow linking the systems and IP protocol has the ability to handle the routing of packets. However The TCP/IP stack consists of 5 layers first being application layer, the transport layer, then the network layer, the link layer and finally the physical layer. The assignment focuses on the three middle layers and is divided into five parts. Firstly explaining how the TCP and UDP the most vital protocols needed to deliver and communicate.

Only five years after Barran proposed his version of a computer network, ARPANET went online. Named after its federal sponsor, ARPANET initially linked four high-speed supercomputers and was intended to allow scientists and researchers to share computing facilities by long-distance. By 1971, ARPANET had grown to fifteen nodes, and by 1972, thirty-seven. ARPA’s original standard for communication was known as “Network Control Protocol” or NCP. As time passed, however, NCP grew obsolete and was replaced by a new, higher-level standard known as TCP-IP, which is still in use today.
