Networking

Question
	
Network Design Paper
Case:
Acme
 Industries is a new company and is building two new offices. The
headquarters will be located in New York and the field office will be
located in Chicago. Your job is to use the equipment below and design a
network that will provide connectivity at each location and between
locations.
New York has:
1 Cisco 2801 Router (2 Ethernet interfaces)
2 Cisco 24 port 2960 switches
Chicagohas:
1 Cisco 2801 Router (2 Ethernet interfaces)
1 Cisco 24 port 2960 switches
The
 New York office will have 40 users and the Chicago office will have 10.
 Each site should have a dedicated VLAN for Human Resources.
The following topics should be addressed with your design:
• WAN connection interface choice
• Using RFC 1918 private addresses, IP scheme and host choices
• Terminal emulation program choice
• Dedicated WAN connection or VPN choice
• Number of VLANs at each location
• Trunking method for VLANs passing between switches in New York
• Location of Layer 3 boundaries
• Methods of limiting access to the Human Resources network
• Choice of technology implemented to use multiple links between switches at the New York Site
• Number of networks in design
Please
 also include the CLI commands to configure the correct IP address
information on each interface. Present your design in the form of a 5-6
page proposal. Explain your reasoning for each choice.
Diagram
Include
 at least one network diagram that clearly shows how your IP scheme is
applied. This diagram should include IP addresses for all devices listed
 with enough remaining to accommodate users at each location. 
• The
diagram should be built with Microsoft Visio (available for free
download for IT students through the MSDN Academic Alliance software
portal:  – contact our helpdesk if you need your credentials).

THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE COPYRIGHT LAW IN AUSTRALIA WITH REGARD TO ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADING MUSIC

THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE COPYRIGHT LAW IN AUSTRALIA WITH REGARD TO ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADING MUSIC

Order Description Task: A new magazine, On Trial, is to be published for Legal studies students. Because of the pace of technological change and the involvement and the interest of young people with technology, the first edition of the magazine is to focus on Technology and the Law. You have been asked to write an article for this edition in which you provide an expert opinion on a key area relating to technology law (in this case, intellectual property – copyright of music and the enforceability of the law in Australia) The article must explain what you perceive to be the main issue that needs to be addressed with respect to the key area of the technology law, intellectual property, and the potential legislative action needed to provide the best outcome for the stakeholders and the Australian community. You should refer to relevant legislation, or the lack of legislation, and the appropriate cases where available. Find statistics where music company’s/ artists have lost money due to the increased number of consumers illegally downloading their music (graphs if available) include reasons why consumers don’t want to pay for their music – they might not want to connect their credit card details to itunes – they might not want to go out and purchase a $20 itunes voucher for one song that would only cost them $1.19 when they could download it illegally for free and not be arrested for violating the law. What can I change? How can I change the law? Why isn’t it enforceable? What needs to be done to make it enforceable? Having a law is one thing, but enforcing it is another

THE INFLATION AND RISING INTEREST RATES

THE INFLATION AND RISING INTEREST RATES

piece for the New York Times, “The Inflation and Rising Interest Rates That Never Showed Up” Paul Krugman examines the successes and failures of policymakers to assess our economy. Specifically, he advocates the Keynesian account and calls for our government to take further action to empower the workforce and the economy. He begins by providing context for today’s economy and explaining what he refers to as a ‘Liquidity Trap’. In years leading up to the 2008 recession, the Federal Reserve had begun to cut interest rates in anticipation of the crash. Eventually, the interest rate target reached 0. 25%, where it has been since December 2008. At this point, the value of a bond is almost as valuable as cash, and monetary policy is largely ineffective in changing inflation or interest rates. Thus, this socalled “zero lower bound” is the basis of Krugman’s Keynesian case. As the federal funds rate is effectively 0% , he states that increasing government spending will have a significant positive effect on employment and national GDP without crowding out investors. He concedes that many policymakers disagree with this theory, arguing in favor of costcutting techniques to make business environments more favorable without deficit spending. His opponents argue that his suggested policy would not only crowd out potential investment, but also aggravate the existing budget deficit.Explanation: Starting in February 2009, President Obama’s stimulus package took effect, and upwards of $780 billion was invested in the US economy. This graph illustrates Krugman’s point and a significant fiscal success. Following the policy’s implementation, the economy quickly stopped contracting by late 2009, and has been expanding every quarter since then. As dictated by the Fed, the federal funds rate has not risen above (effectively) 0, and the 10year treasury constant maturity rate reflects normal rates of inflation. Based on this graph, Krugman appears to be correct: the increase in government spending from 2009 until 2013 had a positive effect on real Gross Domestic Product. Explanation: This graph addresses the other main concern of Krugman’s opposition, the budget deficit. In 2008, Krugman’s critics were convinced that deficit spending would result in massive public debt, and questioned whether it would be worthwhile in the long run. This may have been a valid concern, but based on the data, Krugman was right again. The labor market continues to thrive as a result of the stimulus even today, and GDP has increased since late 2009. The deficit has decreased accordingly. Connection to EC 313: A “Liquidity Trap” as Krugman mentions in his article has a direct connection to the IS/LM model we have studied over the term. A liquidity trap occurs when the interest rate is targeted at 0% (or very, very close to 0%). In the model, because the LM curve intersects the IS curve at such a low interest rate, the IS curve can shift left significantly without increasing the interest rate. This is why Krugman offers a suggestion to increase government spending. Normally, an expansionary fiscal policy would increase output, but also raise interest rates (in response to higher levels of consumption). This increase in the interest rate would crowd out potential investors, and inflate the economy in the long run. In the case of our economy since the last recession, however, Obama’s stimulus plan shifted the IS curve far to the right, but not enough to raise interest rates and decrease investment.
