Topology and Media

The Hierarchical (tree) topology is best for this system. Winkelman (2013) asserts that this topology expands a star topology by allowing several star topologies to interlink through a linear bus. This topology would allow an Ethernet to include a main server, smaller servers, and PCs. Since the network fits within only two floors of the same building, the best media would be twisted pair cable (CAT5 or CAT6 UTP).

Architecture and Protocols

The network would be housed within one building forming a server-client local area network (LAN). However, the network would need some WAN capabilities in the form of an internet connection to enable the two ...

Interoperability ensures the right communication between healthcare providers, insurance companies, researchers, end users, etc. Interoperability increases the value of EMR, because it allows exchanging data with other applications (Gaynor, Yu & Duepner, n.d.). One of the key aspects of interoperability includes the medical terminology used ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ethernet has been termed as the most ubiquitous networking interface in the world. Almost all traffic passes through multiple Ethernet links.

In fact, on average, 10% of all IT power is consumed by network devices and network interfaces translating to tens of TeraWatts hour per year. A solution lies in the design of green networks which consume minimal power while idle without losing their functionality. In this research paper, Energy Efficient Ethernet is ...
