Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
Name the steps for implementation of Internet connectivity Calculate the total bandwidth of an Internet connection, based on the number of users and required types of service Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of various types of connection services Identify the common features shared by both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, as well as features that differ between the two standardsDescribe some of the problems Gigabit Ethernet may solve, as well as problems it may create Discuss how much of a network s existing Ethernet technology might be preserved in a migration to Gigabit Ethernet Discuss the challenges and potential benefits of implementing ATM in the four solution spaces listed above Explain why LAN Emulation (LANE) is often required to use ATM as a LAN backbone Explain how an ATM backbone can simplify a LAN design Explain why a stage
