Complete the following tasks.
1. Explore the features and specification of the following router that can be used to build a WAN network.
HPE FlexNetwork HSR6800 Router Series https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/gethtml.aspx?docname=c04111425
Look for information such as:
• The WAN technologies supported. For example, does it support Gigabit Ethernet, ATM or Optical Carriers (e.g. fibre)?
• How many packets per second (pps) can the router forward?
• How many bytes per second (bps) can the Switch process?
• Does the router support IPv4, IPv6 or both?
• Does the router support MPLS? X.25? ATM?
• What are the physical dimensions of model JG363B of the router (size, weight)?
2. Consider the AARNET network which connects universities in Australia, and to education networks overseas (see the maps in the following page).
• What network media technologies do you think are used within the majority of the AARNET network in Australia? E.g. twisted pair, coaxial cable, fibre, wireless, satellite.
• If you were transferring a 100GB file from Brisbane to Darwin using AARNET, approximately how long would it take?
• Using AARNET International connections, what is the fastest path from Sydney to the west coast of the US? Which cities does the path go via, or is it direct? Which cities in the US does the link terminate (i.e. the landing point)?
3. Find an example for each of the following three main categories of cloud computing:
• Software as a service
• Platform as a service
• Infrastructure as a service
