Introduction Four global networks carry most of the Computer networking is widespread, supported by international network traffic; FidoNet, UUCP, the global Matrix of interconnected computer BITNET, and the Internet. The first step in networks such as the Internet, BITNET, UUCP, looking at these networks involves collecting and FidoNet. Perhaps 20,000,000 people use this appropriate data for each and performing some global Matrix of computer networks, and several consistency checking. The data for these maps major global computer networks are growing was initially derived from their node lists exponentially, rapidly reaching new countries and (BITNET and FidoNet) or host lists (UUCP).

The Report gathers a series of case studies on a variety Dynamic Coalition of net neutrality issues from the perspective of different stakeholders. The double purpose of this report is to trigger meaningful discussion on net on Net Neutrality neutrality trends, while providing informative material that may be used by researchers, policy-makers and civil society alike. Researchers, practitioners and policy-makers regularly contribute to the DCNN report, providing a wide range of heterogeneous views. Preface by Tim Wu In 2016, Zero Rating was by large the most debated net neutrality issue, as reflected by the considerable number of contributions focusing on the topic within this report. Such high number of analyses on zero rating seems particularly useful to meet the increasing demand of research exploring the pros and cons of price discrimination practices. Furthermore, the report examines other very relevant and discussed topics, such as specialised services, ad blocking and reasonable traffic management, providing useful insight on some of the most recent policy evolutions in a variety of countries.

Cable Versus Dsl

Vacca INSIDE DSL; Cable Modems; ADSL; CDSL; G.Lite; HDSL; IDSL; RADSL; SDSL; VDSL; POTS; DSL and Cable Modem Rollouts; High-Speed Data Entry; Buying DSL Service; Installing DSL; Security Problems, Residential Users, Telecommuters, DSL System Components; DSL Network; DSL Hubs INTRODUCTION Internet access via cable modem has become available in many residen- tial areas over the past few years. Cable has the capacity to transmit data at speeds as fast as Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) when configured prop- erly and under optimal conditions. Due to the fact that cable lines are not available in the vast majority of commercial districts, cable does not com- pete with DSL in the enterprise market at all, in most cases. Cable was designed for residential use, and in some cases may be a cost-effective solution for residential high-bandwidth Internet access. Therefore, the challenge of cable versus DSL is primarily in the residential and telecom- muter markets. With that in mind, and before continuing with the theme of this article (cable vs. DSL), one can take a look at the technology issues first, and then some basic terminology. TECHNOLOGY ISSUES What is DSL? How does it work? What are the types of DSL? These are some of the questions this article will surely answer; as well as some of the pros and cons of the use of cable modems versus DSL. PAYOFF IDEA The article discusses the current state of cable DSL: What Is It? modem access versus DSL. It also examines how In essence, by using the existing tele- prevalent cable modem and DSL services are in major U.S. -

Fifty-four librarians completed the questionnaire, which sought information on the computer conferences to which they subscribed; the length of time they had been using either BITNET or the Internet; and the type of training they had had in using either of the two networks. In addition, the respondents were asked to rank five functions or capabilities available on either BITNET or Internet--electronic mail and computer forums, remote database searching, file transiur and data exchange, research and publication on the Internet--by extent of use. -
Twisted-Pair Cable (Cat
1 LAN Physical Layer Various symbols are used to represent media types. The function of media is to carry a flow of information through a LAN. Networking media are considered Layer 1, or physical layer, components of LANs. Each media has advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantage or disadvantage comparisons concern: • Cable length • Cost • Ease of installation • Susceptibility to interference Coaxial cable, optical fiber, and even free space can carry network signals. However, the principal medium that will be studied is Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable (Cat 5 UTP) 2 Cable Specifications 10BASE-T The T stands for twisted pair. 10BASE5 The 5 represents the fact that a signal can travel for approximately 500 meters 10BASE5 is often referred to as Thicknet. 10BASE2 The 2 represents the fact that a signal can travel for approximately 200 meters 10BASE2 is often referred to as Thinnet. All 3 of these specifications refer to the speed of transmission at 10 Mbps and a type of transmission that is baseband. Thinnet and Thicknet are actually a type of networks, while 10BASE2 & 10BASE5 are the types of cabling used in these networks. 3 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable 4 Physical Media Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Consists of 4 pairs (8 wires) of insulated copper wires typically about 1 mm thick. The wires are twisted together in a helical form. Twisting reduces the interference between pairs of wires. High bandwidth and High attenuation channel. Flexible and cheap cable. Category rating based on number of twists per inch and the material used CAT 3, CAT 4, CAT 5, Enhanced CAT 5 and now CAT 6.
