Networking Fundamentals	Value:15%	Due date:08-Apr-2018	Return date:01-May-2018	Submission method optionsAlternative submission method	TaskThis assessment aims to develop and gauge student understanding of the key topics covered so far by answering the following questions. Answering these questions will help you build some understanding for the next assessment item as well as for the entire subject. It is expected that answers to the assignment questions be succinct (i.e. precise and concise) with all sources of information fully referenced as per APA referencing style. You have to reference the text book and any additional material you have used in your answers.Note that the guide for APA referencing is provided in the resources section of Interact site of this subject.Answers MUST be written in your own words. No marks will be awarded for any answer that contains more than 10% direct quote (referenced or unreferenced). One or two sentence answers will be too short and only receive low marks. Answers longer than 1.5 pages (12 point font, single line spacing) may incur a penalty if too much non-relevant information is stated. For mathematical questions it is expected that you show intermediate steps of your working. Just stating the correct solution will result in low marks, on the other hand if the working is correct and you only made minor mistakes, you will still be awarded marks, even though the final answer is wrong.	Question 1 [3 Marks]Compare and contrast the OSI reference model with the TCP/IP networking model. Which one do you think is more useful when working with and describing networks and why?

You have been asked to design a network by utilizing 10.0.0.0 private IP address.Your designed network should span six sites with a router at each site to interconnect the entire network. It is assumed that each site will have its own single subnet. Company expects approximately 1200 workstation across all the sites with approximate numbers in each building as follows:Finance Office - 260 workstationsIT Call Centre - 520 workstationsResearch and Developmet Office - 120 workstationsMarkeing Department - 40 workstationsInformation technology - 130 workstationsHead Office - 60 workstations	TASK- Write a 800 words (+/- 10%) (Max) report explaining:a.The detailed design of a simple addressing solution (with diagram(s) and step by step workout of the calculations) that leaves room for growth, is easy to administer and has the minimum wastage of available IP address space.[ 3.5 Marks]b.Explain what happens to your design if the number of hosts per network jumps to over 1,024 per building.[ 1.5 Marks]		RationaleThis assessment aims to assess the following learning objectives of this subject:	be able to analyse IP      addressing requirements and design an addressing scheme;	be able to analyse the      requirements of IP routing and choose appropriate routing methods;	be able to demonstrate how      internetworking devices obtain their network configuration;	be able to explain how data      flows through the internet; and	be able to ascertain and      evaluate selection of applications and protocols for transferring data      across the internet.

Question 1 
Compare and contrast the OSI reference model with the TCP/IP networking model. Which one do you think is more useful when working with and describing networks and why?
1. TCP/IP is the communication protocol that takes into account the host connection to the web whereas OSI is the communication gateway that is used between the network as well as the end users. 
2. OSI model is considered as the model that is independent of protocol but act as a gateway. But in TCP/ IP model it is protocol which is responsible for internet and allows connection of host with the other systems of network. 
3. According to OSI model, transport layer is responsible for packets delivery whereas in TCP/IP model, transport layer doesn’t ensure the delivery of packets but still considered as more reliable as compared to OSI model.
4. OSI model takes after vertical approach whereas TCP/IP model is according to horizontal approach.
5. OSI model characterizes services, interfaces as well as protocols and clarifies about the distinction between them. But in TCP/IP model, services, interfaces as well as protocols are not plainly isolated. It is additionally protocol dependent.
TCP/IP is more generalized form of network as layer 7, layer 6, layer 5 are combines in TCP/IP model as the application layer and it is more useable. (https://www.studytonight.com, 2018).
Question 2 
Briefly describe the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). What is the purpose of the ARP Cache?
The address resolution protocol (arp) are the protocols that are used by IPv4 (Internet Protocol) for the hardware address by data link protocols. This mainly woks below the network layer as the component of OSI model. (http://www.omnisecu.com/, 2018). The main role of an ARP cache is to oblige ARP requests when a gateway needs to manage where to send the packets inside a local system. For purchasers, the gateway is frequently part of the Internet Service Provider infrastructure. The gateway may create an ARP request for, where the framework will utilize data in the ARP cache to locate the connected device for a given address. (https://www.techopedia.com, 2018).
