Some of the things that NCP does include file access, printer access, security. Using TCP/IP (transfer control protocol) which is also on layer three and four of the model, and it allows a network to communicate through ort 80 or also known as HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol. These protocols would be chosen based on the security, and the devices it needs to access the internet. In anything to do with networks and computers security is always number one so putting a WPA2 enterprise with a wireless router, in place would be very beneficial for Kudler so the router and the network can have a passcode in place so there will be no outside influences to hack the system. The authentication of the Radius server will be used for the WPA Enterprise which the router uses is 802.
Netscape’s story has the same connotation. Moreover, because Netscape owned very powerful products that time, i.e., Netscape Navigator and Netscape’s server software, investors speculated that its stock price would continue to soak. In detail, Netscape Navigator was the leading client software program that allowed individual personal computer users to exchange information and conduct commerce on the internet. With the user-friendly interface as a guide, Navigator offered a variety of Internet functions including Web browsing, file transfers, news group communications and email. What appears to be its strategy?

As the growing demands of members and employees were increasing, the MidSouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) has decided to update its computing systems. The management then decided to consolidate their systems to AS/400 based system called UNITRAK. Ted Vassici has supported the systems for a significant period before Simon Kovecki was hired by MidSouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC). Simon Kovecki was in charge of implementing this new system, but he ended up with failure that left MidSouth Chamber of Commerce (MSCC) with lost data on the old systems, and an inoperable UNITRAK system.

Cisco uses a mesh of network switches, linked to other switches in the aggregation layer, which in turn is linked to the core. This mesh type application of switches provides multiple paths for network traffic to flow. What this means is that if one link in the traffic flow or a switch goes down, traffic can continue to flow using an alternate path. HP uses a loop-free, non-blocking architecture. This is designed to keep all links active, enabling highly efficient, high bandwidth connectivity throughout the switching plane.
