CLASS 12: Computer Networks ~ Problems Setting up a computer network ‘The 80-20 Thumb Rule: ~According to this rule, in a properly designed and organi of whole network should be dedicated to loc: 20% of whole traffic should not exceed backbone. If it happens, there may be a condition of network congestion arises. —We need to follow above rules while designing a network. d network, 80% of the traffic network. Easy way to solve questions 1. Where to set Server ? : At the place with maximum number of computers. 2. Suggest a suitable cable layout of connectio: A suitable cable layout can be suggested in the following two ways: (a) On the basis of Server: First, the location of the Server i fouiid. out. Server should be placed in that building where the number of computers is maximufa (according to the 80:20 rule}. After finding the server position, each building distance is compared with the Server building directly or indirectly (taking other building{s) in between). The shortest distance is counted, whether it is directly or indirectly calculated. (b) On the basis of distance from each building: The distance between each building is compared to all(other buildings, either directly or indirectly, Thé shortest distai calculated, whether it is direct or through some other building, 3. At what place following devices are tobe used? : * Server : The building with maximum number of computers. © HUB/SWITCH: In cach building, * Modem: The building with serve * Repeater: buildings Raving distance more than 70 meters so that channel can be amplifics. © Ronter: when a LAN is to gt connécted with other LAN. + Best Cable: Twisted Pair, Ethernet Cable (when the distance is in meters and needs to be feasible.), coaxial cable (when high speed is required) * Best Cable: Fiber Optical Cable (when distance is in kilometers and high speed is required, * Best Connecting Technique: In Hilly areas satellite signals , for city to city radio es and state to state satellite signal.
