Answer to Question #242581 in Computer Networks for Eulanda

Question

As part of the requirements analysis, list the requirements for each component or
related area presented in the exhibit. Include the following components or
network areas:
• Network systems and related network protocols;
• Network systems and related network traffic;
• Network systems and related embedded systems.

Answer 1

1. A network protocol is an established set of rules that determine how data is transmitted between different devices in the same network. Essentially, it allows connected devices to communicate with each other, regardless of any differences in their internal processes, structure or design. Examples of standard network protocols include;

 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

IP (Internet Protocol)

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

2. Network traffic is the amount of data moving across a computer network at any given time. Network traffic is also called data traffic, is broken down into data packets and sent over a network before being reassembled by the receiving device or computer. Operators often distinguish three broad types of network traffic: sentive, best-effort and undesired.

3. An embedded system is a microprocessor-based computer hardware system with software that is designed to perform a dedicated function, either as an independent system or as a part of a large system. At the core is an integrated circuit designed to carry out computation for real-time operations.

Complexities range from a single microcontroller to a suite of processors with connected peripherals and networks; from no user interface to complex graphical user interfaces. The complexity of an embedded system varies significantly depending on the task for which it is designed. Embedded Systems can be classified into four types based on the performance and functional requirement.

• Real Time Embedded Systems.
• Stand-Alone Embedded Systems.
• Networked Embedded Systems.
• Mobile Embedded Systems.
