Task 1
- Explain the concept of IP networks.
- Explain with the aid of diagrams TCP/IP Architecture. Discuss the function of the protocols within each layer and evaluate their architectural applications.
- Evaluate the industrial implementation of IP networks both with regard to internet based services and mobile applications.
Task 2
- Explain the principles of IP addressing based on IPv4 and discuss the key practical issues in implementing IP addressing within public and private networks.
- With the aid of a network diagram explain how IP addresses are assigned to a network.
Task 3
A company STP Ltd is considering implementing IPv6 Protocol throughout the organisation. Present a report for the Technical Director highlighting and discussing the key issues in migrating from IPv4 to IPv6 addressing.
The report should;
- Briefly explain the principles of IPv6 protocol
- Discuss the benefits and drawbacks in migrating from IPv4 to IPv6
- Explain and evaluate alternative transition mechanisms
- Analyse and evaluate the improvement in quality of service (QoS) and security
Task 4
Prepare a 10 minute PowerPoint Presentation to give to your student colleagues with the title;
THE ALL IP NETWORK
Your Presentation should explain and analyse the reasons and trends towards employing IP technology in modern communication networks.
In particular you should;
- explain and discuss the concept of voice over IP (VoIP), comparing the different VoIP architectures
- explain the principles of mobile IP (MIP), highlighting the benefits of MIP application.
