CS 4594 Broadband Networks and Communications HW Assignment # Due Dec 2 For this assignment develop a proposal for spending up to $150,000 for establishing a Broadband Telecommunications/Networking Laboratory in the College of Science. Work in groups of 1-2 people. Your proposal should be based upon the following principles and constraints: It should provide for broadband networking capabilities in the lab. This includes o a SONET ring with multiple lines (at least three) and multiple sections within at least one line. o a Frame Relay network with at least three end points. o an ATM network with at least three ATM switches o three MPLS domains, each with several LSR nodes You may use equipment in multiple ways to create configurations that satisfy these specifications. The cost should not exceed $150,000, including tax. The cost should include a 42% educational discount over list price for new equipment. The proposal should be well-written. The solution must work. The result must have educational benefit to future students of the broadband class, in particular, as well as students taking other networking and telecommunications courses through the department. The structure of your proposal should be as follows: Introduction - one paragraph Describe the context of the problem. State the problem. Summarize your solution in one sentence. Details - one to three pages, to include: Block diagram of the network configuration. Description of the system as a whole and its relation to existing equipment.

CS 4594 Broadband Networks and Communications HW Assignment # can function within a Frame Relay “cloud”. Cisco sold an ATM switch (the Lightstream 1010) that can act as an ATM switch in the “cloud”. However, the Lightstream 1010 is now replaced by newer equipment, and other companies such an Juniper make competing equipment. You can use web resources such as: http://www.cisco.com and http://www.lordsnet.com for configuration and pricing information. You can even find pricing information on Ebay. You can find network design and simulation software at http://opnet.com. Your job is to participate in the process of developing a new plan that will satisfy the new requirements and have good educational benefit. 2
