Guidelines

This week, you will prepare a research report that thoroughly answers the following three exercise questions. Each exercise should be prepared on a separate page of your report.

1. Exercise 10 of Chapter 12 on page 505: The network shown in Figure 12.44 on page 506 is an MPLS network with all routers configured as Label-Switching Routers (LSRs). The paths (LSPs) are determined using TE (Traffic Engineering). The address of each router is x.x.x.x where x is the router number, for example, 1.1.1.1. Explain your reasoning and fill in the R2 routing table:
   1. for paths with no tunnels and
   2. for paths with tunnels T1 and T2.
2. Exercise 6 of Chapter 13 on page 553: Cable modems on the coaxial part of the topology of an HFC configuration shown in Figure 13.3 on page 510 are a tree structure. Cable modems with Ethernet stations resemble an Ethernet LAN. Contrast an HFC coaxial broadband LAN with a regular Ethernet LAN on: (a) topology, (b) downstream protocol, and (c) upstream protocol.
3. Exercise 6 of Chapter 14 on page 582:
   1. What MIB table would you use to measure the QoS of service flow in a fixed wireless system between the base station and the subscriber station?
   2. Define latency and jitter for service flow in a fixed wireless system.
   3. Write the specific managed objects associated with latency and jitter.

The Project Report template link can be found on the Assignments page. The report should be at least two pages long of text (pictures are additional), font size 12, and double spaced. Your report should follow this format. Below is the grading rubric for the Week 7 Paper.
