Network Design Problem $(10$ points$)$

Consider the class discussion about identifying network applications and analyzing technical goals related to network design. Assume you are given a contract to design a network within a budget of

$$50,000$ for a two$-$room office consisting of $30$ workstations in each room, servers as necessary, networking devices as necessary for LAN as well as WAN access, cabling etc. Include the network diagram to explain your solution $($You may use any software to draw your topology$).$ Include the price quotes of workstations, cables, devices, and other necessary items in your write$-$up$.$ The quotes could be screenshots of prices shown on vendor websites. Also, complete the following two tables giving justifications for your design and justify the chosen technical goals, as necessary. Mention the tradeoffs that you have chosen to fit the design within the given budget.

OMNeT$++$ Project $(10$ points$)$

Run tictoc$1$ program three times by changing the tic and toc events to last for $10$ ms$/10$ ms$,10$ ms$/50$ ms and $20$ ms$/100$ ms respectively. Run time for these simulations should be: half minute, two minutes, and five minutes. Answer the following:

$$

$1.$ List the differences in your observations$/$results you noted between the three simulations.

$2.$ How many events were observed for each?

$3.$ How many tic and toc messages were noted for each?

$4.$ Calculate the theoretical total time to be spent in each considering tic and toc delays.

$5.$ Compare the theoretical total time with observed times and comment on observations.

$6.$ Include the screenshot of each simulation showing the message flows in time scale.
