Chapter 10: Managing Network Performance with Queuing and Compression

Labs:

10.2.3 Our company has given us the task of connecting our east coast office with the west coast office via ISDN. There will be some large file transfers over this link but we do not want them to dominate the link. Since we want low bandwidth applications such as telnet to be able to get through at any time, we have decide to use weighted fair queuing to solve this problem. It is our responsibility to connect these two routers together and configure weighted fair queuing correctly.
10.2.5 Our company has given us the task of connecting our east coast office with the west coast office via ISDN. It has been determined that we need to have a strict queuing policy for traffic going across this link. Certain traffic should have a higher priority than other traffic. We have decided that all TCP traffic should have high priority, ICMP traffic should have medium priority, all UDP traffic should have low priority, and all other traffic should have normal priority. It is our responsibility to connect these two routers together and configure priority queuing correctly.
10.2.8 Our company has given us the task of connecting our Houston office with the Orlando office via Frame Relay. 
10.3.7.1 Our company has analyzed the bandwidth usage on our EastCoast to WestCoast ISDN connection. It has been found that we are using the ISDN line to the maximum. There is not enough money in the budget to upgrade the line to a PRI link, or to allow the ISDN line to be on all the time. It is our responsibility to find a way to move more information across the link in less time. Our solution: Compression.
10.3.7.2 Our company has analyzed the bandwidth usage on our Houston to Orlando Frame Relay connection. It has been found that we are using the Frame Relay line to the maximum. There is not enough money in the budget to upgrade the line. It is our responsibility to find a way to move more information across the link. Our solution: Compression.
