Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 16 page paper defining networks; discussing network protocols (particularly TCP/IP); listing network components; and measuring network performance. The paper presents the Utilization Law and Little’s Law, providing the equations for each. It provides a list of network characteristics such as bandwidth and latency, and discusses approaches to making the network more efficient with hierarchical decomposition. Finally, it presents an example of a company (Jaguar/Land Rover) that has been able to reduce its per-megabit costs by 94%. Includes 4 diagrams. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

on the proper function of organizations networks. There are relatively few "rules" in network design, aside from those prescribing where specific hardware items should be on the network.
The result of this lack of rules is that there is no standardization of form among networks. The paradox of networks is that they must conform to certain standards
of design. The Network Definition Networking is "the electronic linking of geographically dispersed devices" (Martin, Brown, DeHayes, Hoffer and Perkins, 2002; p. 100),
and involves the movement of information over and through the network. "There are four primary reasons for networking" (Martin, et al., 2002; p. 99): (1) sharing of technology
resources; (2) sharing of data; (3) distributed data processing and client/server systems; and (4) enhanced communications. Network Protocols Now an "old" technology, Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) has been in use for more than 20 years and keeps being relevant to changing environments, usually just when it has been counted as a protocol
that likely will not survive the next generation of technological advances. The truth is that even though applications, hardware and possible speeds of transmission all have increased in capabilities
and reliability, the actual mode of transmission of data across the systems largely is accomplished in same manner now as when networking was new.
TCP/IP works under the same principles in Internet applications as it did before the existence of the Internet, which is to facilitate data transmission by "breaking the information into
smaller packets" (Venter and Eloff, 1998; p. 683), and in fact has become one of the most important of the Internet technologies today (McQuillan, 1994). Its limitations have been
