Explanation of Solution
Three-tier architecture:
The three-tier architecture is a fundamental design of user computers and servers that contains three major components or tiers such as follows:
- User tier
- Server tier
Database tier
Role of each tier in above architecture:
User tier:
- This tier contains computers and mobile devices which have web browsers that request the web page to process it.
Server tier:
- It consists of computers that execute web servers and process the requesting application programs.
Database tier:
- It also contains computers that execute DBMS, which process the user request to fetch and store data in the database.
Working methodology of three-tier architecture:
- When user enter an e-commerce website to buy products online, example “www.zulily.com” in their browser, the browser send a request to a computer in the server tire. Server tier computers can execute applications like web server, a commerce server and so on.
- The requested “www.zulily.com” page will be displayed on the user’s computer. If the user had clicked any product such as shoe, then the commerce server will send a request to the DBMS to retrieve shoe’s data from the database.
- Finally the server formats the page with the data and sends that web page to the user’s computer.
SOA:
SOA stands for “Service-Oriented Architecture”. It is a philosophy that states, each interaction among computing devices are referred as services in a prescribed, standard way.
Reason for encapsulation:
According to SOA terms, the work of each department is encapsulated in the department.
- By using SOA philosophies, each department will formally state the services it provides. Similarly each department will officially state the data it supposes to receive with the request and the data it potentials to return as user’s response.
- Hence there is no personal contact between each department.
Advantages of SOA in three-tier architecture:
- SOA services are stated between the web server and the DBMS server on application back end. Therefore, the DBMS server need not do anything while the number and location of the web server gets adjusted.
- Similarly, the web server need not do anything while the number and location of the DBMS server gets adjusted.
Protocol:
A set of rules and structures for organizing communications is referred as protocol.
TCP/IP protocol architecture:
The TCP/IP protocol architecture contains five layers and one or more protocols which are defined in each layer.
- Computer programs are written by data communication and software vendors, which can implement the rules for specific protocol.
Purpose of internet protocols:
HTTP:
HTTP stands for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol”...

- Q2: Explain SNMP Communication Model in a brief. Discuss SNMP architecture only, emphasizing its utilization and goals.arrow_forwardBriefly describe the seven-layer ISO’s OSI model (For each layer briefly describe its services and design issues). Explain why the top four layers are called ”end-to-end” layers. You should support your explanation with an application example.arrow_forwardAnd how, in terms of scale and managerial leeway, would one best put hierarchical structures to use? Address space (AS) routing and inter-AS routing are defined and discussed. What is "hot potato" routing, and how does it function?arrow_forward
- NO HANDWRITING PLEASE! Q2: Explain SNMP Communication Model in a brief. Discuss SNMP architecture only, emphasizing its utilization and goals.arrow_forwardNetworks are designed in a number of ways, based on the geographical area, the technology used, user group specific, application-based, etc. But we can roughly categorize the communication networks in 2 broad categories, based on transmission: Connection-Oriented and Connectionless. Please discuss the two categories. Your comments should include the following: Point by point comparison of their advantages and disadvantages (at least 3 advantages and 3 disadvantages) Point by point comparison of the design issues for both Your preference among the two and a suggestion to resolve any one of its design-related problem.arrow_forwardIntegrated Services Architecture (ISA) is an architecture that specifies the elements to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) on networks. It was intended to provide QoS transport over IP-basedinternets and defined in RFC 1633. a) Traffic on a network or internet can be divided into two broad categories: elastic and inelastic. Briefly EXPLAIN about both the categories. IDENTIFY applications and their QoS requirements for each category. b) Identify THREE (3) types of services by ISA. EXPLAIN the key elements of each service.arrow_forward
- Contrast the OSI model and the TCP/IP model, emphasizing their pertinence to WAN protocols and communication.arrow_forwardDraw a diagram of 3 tier network architecture.arrow_forwardNetwork Architecture Paper: Using either the OSI Reference Model or the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, describe how each layer of the Model/Suite represents the communication flow between organizational levels and across departments/division of an actual hierarchical business. Be sure to include a communication flow diagram showing the logical and physical connections. Contain a title page, 3 to 5 pages of content, and a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.arrow_forward
- Describe the different layers of the OSI model and explain their significance in networking.arrow_forwardWhat are the many types of network topologies that may be employed, and which one would you suggest?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between these serial communication protocols, UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN?I want the explanation to be a visual aspect of how they handle data, and what the initial purposes are differentiated in those protocols.I am having trouble understanding what they do the different scenarios they are utilized in, and knowing when to use them. As I am a visual and practical learner, I need a visual and a close enough actual application example to explain these protocols.In addition to those contexts, how do you know what boards support these different serial communication protocols, in addition?I know this is a lot, but it would really help me to get the full picture in detail to better understand these serial communication protocols better.arrow_forward
