Submission Deadline Marks and Feedback Before 6pm on: 15 working days after deadline (All Levels) 23/05/2021 13/06/2021 Module title & code NC40-3 Internetworking Assignment number and title 2 Assessment type Case study Report Weighting of assessment 50% Module learning outcomes On completion of this unit you should be able to: 1. Describe the role of routers, routing protocols and appraise the design principles of internetworking technologies. 2. Create network designs by applying internetworking principles in modern routing scenarios covering both security and performance aspects. What am I required to do in this assignment? Introduction You are provided with a list of various WAN topics below. Choose only one (1) topic and prepare a report with approximately 2500 words that contains a thorough discussion about the selected topic. Prepare a strong background of the topic, clearly document its operations/functionalities, present advantages & disadvantages, use figures/diagrams and examples to supplement discussions. Include also an overall analysis and evaluation of the topic in the report. Your report must contain strong technical content and sound argument. Topics (Choose only one (1) topic from the list) ? Application of Genetic Algorithms in Network routing. ? 5G communication. ? Client-server technology. ? Bluetooth Based Smart Sensor Networks. ? Congestion Control. ? Cloud computing: SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. ? Controlled Update Propagation in Peer-to-Peer Networks. ? Distance-Bandwidth Tradeoff. ? Distributed Computing. ? Cryptography & Network security. ? IP over ATM. ? Exterior Gateway Protocol. ? Data Security in Local Network using Distributed Firewalls. ? Gigabit Networking. ? Distributed Processing and Networks. ? Internet of Things. Deliverables A report with a minimum of 2500 words covering the following tasks is expected. The structure of the report should be as follows: ? Introduction ? Operation of technologies ? Analysis ? Discussion ? Conclusion ? Recommendation ? References Key Deliverables and Important Dates: Last date for submission of selected topic: (9 May 2021). This is a final date to confirm your topic with your lecturer. Failure to do so will create one letter grade reduction and an auto assigned topic to you. Last date for submission of draft: (15 May 2021). Send the draft by e-mail to zainab.alansari@majancollege.edu.om Any draft submission after this date will not be accepted. Last date for Final Submission: (23 May 2021). The final report should be submitted in MOVE on or before (23 May 2021, 6:00 PM). Non-submission will automatically result in failure of that assessment. No late submission will generally be accepted. Marking Scheme and grading policy: Your report will be graded according to: ? Content completeness, accuracy, correlation and relation of the work done to the topic selected 2 ? Report structure (proper formatting of texts, tables and diagrams, correct and proper English) ? Relevant and appropriate references ? Good evidence of reading and research Is there a size limit? (~2500 words) What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from Module Descriptor) write a report on the given scenario exhibiting research skills in internetworking technologies. How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade? Rationalise on the selection of solutions applicable and justify exclusions. How does assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions? During the scheduled sessions an introduction, overview and practical activities will provided enabling students to appraise and apply the technologies in simulated, virtual or real environments. 3 How will my assignment be marked? Your assignment be marked according to the threshold expectations and the criteria on the following page. You can use them to evaluate your own work and estimate your grade before you submit.
