In order to determine the flow and types of packets on the network, a packets sniffer program ‘Wireshark’ was used to capture the packets. Wireshark was used to capture 30 minutes of network activity in two different intervals, morning and afternoon.
The partial output from the Wireshark capture, from both sessions is shown in figure 4.4; from analysis of the packet sniffer program it can be deduced that the network traffic usage is mainly TCP connections, such as web browsing, file transfer and mail services.
It can also be noted that there is a significant amount of the broadcast packets like ARP, NBNS and UDP, as shown in figure 4.6 a partial segment of the Wireshark output and due to these packets the switches should experience a vast number of broadcasts, which in general degrades the entire network performance.
The graph as depicted in figure 4.7 represents the amount of packets that where captured for a given time period, which show there is a significant amount of broadcast in the network.

Between study group, debate, and chess tournaments there wasn’t much of a social scene around Winchester University in Omaha, Nebraska. The school year at this college was year round, but the students were given a 30 day summer vacation in July. The majority of the students went back home to visit their families during this time. But as juniors at the University Charles, Fredrick, and Stanley, all childhood buddies, decided it was time for a change and that they needed a little more spice in their life. Realizing that they were almost twenty-one and had never breached their comfort zone, they knew a road trip was in store.
Fairy tales tell us that once upon a time a girl met a boy; they fell in love, and lived happily ever after. Reality is not that simple. Long-term relationships force couples to get to know each other, involve themselves in each others’ worlds, fight through the hard times, and eventually develop deeper connections as noted through distinctive stages of Knapp’s relationship model. Although I have dated the same person for over two years, our communication through relationship stages makes it seem as though I am now dating a different person than the one I met years ago. Following dissolution and subsequent repair, I realize the most exhilarating of roller coaster rides develop through sets of ups and downs, much like the stages on how our relationship is built.
The Aim Higher College’s system administrators and network engineers have described seeing some strange behaviors such as high levels of traffic from many hosts that are causing system outages. The web servers of the college have been shutting down frequently by this traffic, it must be from a hacker group trying to attack the school with malicious software. I will review the network traffic from the college’s intrusion detection system and use an intrusion prevention system to block off these threats from the hackers.
As far as network traffic is concerned, the traffic used by a thin client is significantly lower than that of a PC since the workspace is on a centralized server and the traffic to the terminal is strictly input and output. The majority of the data traffic is from server to server, as in this case from the terminal server to th...

The first step in network capacity analysis is to define a baseline profile of the performance levels of your current network by using Performance Monitor and Network Monitor. This involves sampling various aspects of your network over several days. Examine these readings to decipher what is normal and abnormal about how your network performs. This includes pinpointing which areas of your network experience the heaviest load, which users or applications cause the most traffic, ...

An organizational analysis is an important tool to become familiar with how medical businesses and organizations are able to meet standards of care, provide services for the community and provide employment to health care providers. There are many different aspects to evaluate in an organizational analysis. This paper will describe these many aspects and apply the categories to the University Medical Center (UMC) as the organization being analyzed.
XKEYSCORE is fed a constant flow of Internet traffic (up to 15 terabytes/s) from fiber optic cables. These cables are part of the internet's backbone. The raw data it collects can be stored for 4-5 days, and the metadata for up to 45 days, unless the National Security Agency or other organization granted access to the database, requests for it to held longer. TEMPROA, a addon for XKEYSCORE. Its function is to collect all data in and out of the UK routers, in a rolling database, this allows analysts see every single scrap of data, and can be analyzed easier, faster, and with more thoroughness. PRISM: a Program where the National Security Agency, with the help of telephone carriers such as verizon, and at&t, take phone data such as geo location, caller logs, duration, recieving caller, caller id. They claimed to have used it during the early 2000’s to 2009 to pattern organized crime, when they would call or recieve texts. Also to track suspected terrorists in the U.S.. SKYNET, “from use of GSM metadata, we measure aspects of each selectors pattern-of-life, social network, and travel behavior”.

Troubleshooting media problems on a bus networks can be very tedious, since a break in the backbone will bring down the entire LAN. For this reason, bus topology is not considered one of the more robust network topologies, compared with star or mesh. A loose or missing terminating resistor can also bring down a LAN.
Social Network theory dates back to the 1950’s where Barnes (1954) is credited with coining the term. Social Network Theory is the study of how the social structure around a person, group, or organization affect beliefs or behaviors (Dunn, 1983) The theory views relationships in terms of nodes and ties. Nodes can be defined as individual actors within networks, while ties are the relationships between the actors. (Dunn, 1983). These nodes and ties are often displayed in a diagram which shows the connection between them. Unlike traditional sociological studies, Social Network Theory does not assume that it is the attributes of individual actors, but rather the attributes of the individual are less important, but rather the relationships and ties with other actors within the network is what is important.
If you already know what a binary tree is, but not a general tree, then pay close attention, because binary trees are not just the special case of general trees with degree two. I use the definition of a tree from the textbook, but bear in mind that other definitions are possible.
Ethereal is a network analyzer. It has the ability to read packets from a network, decipher them, and then display the results with a very intuitive GUI. According to the book Ethereal Packet Sniffing, “the most important aspects of Ethereal are as follows: that it is open source, actively maintained, and free”. After conducting thorough research, Ethereal also supports TcpDump format capture filters, supports over 700 protocols (new ones are added on a regular basis), and the tool can capture data from Ethernet, Token Ring, 802.11 Wireless, etc. For anyone interested in a command line interface (CLI) interface for Ethereal, you’re in luck since there is a CLI available called tethereal.
Due to the demand for the internet to be fast, networks are designed for maximum speed, rather than to be secure or track users (“Interpol” par. 1). The adage of the adage.... ... middle of paper ... ...
Expanding upon Table 1, it is worth mentioning some aspects of the various centralities and how they relate. Nodes with high degree centrality are connected directly to correspondingly greater portions of the network and are able to transfer information quickly.7 Nodes with high betweenness centrality can...
