Stakeholder Concerns
In order to optimize and upgrade the Leonard Cooper Network, I will have to understand and solve the current concerns of the stakeholders. The results from the interview conducted on four stakeholders indicate that: the existing network sometimes gets congested, collisions proliferate, and the network’s throughput slows down when the teachers report simultaneously on attendance and check emails. The existing bandwidth of the network is 10Mb and the fifty networked printers occasionally get all filled up. As such, the HVAC technician deems it convenient for wireless access points to be installed and all the 23 classrooms located in the new wing be added to the network. In addition, there are slow connections, especially …show more content…
The solution that is preferable is Category 6 UTP 1000Base F Ethernet cabling. This is because it will serve by increasing the maximum data transfer rate to a hundredfold; implying that the 10Mb will translate to 1 Gigabyte per second. This particular bandwidth will effectively deal with the HVAC technician’s concerns for a remote access to the devices. The transfer rate will also eradicate the congestion that is experience when the teachers in the seven networked classrooms send their attendance records simultaneously and access their emails, especially in the morning. In addition, there is need to add the 23 classrooms into the network. Here, the fiber optic backbone virtue is essential which will render the remote mail server placement irrelevant. The servers should also be assembled to allow for ease diagnostics and system maintenance.
There is need also for the use of Ethernet cable with a built in Carrier Sense Multiple Access that has a Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) contention based media access control technique to assist in dealing with collision issues. Each network interface card should be assigned with a random rime interval before an attempt to retransmit the network is made to minimize the
