Part A: Assignment$2(2\%)$

Your work at Thrift Towne was so successful that you are asked to provide networking advice to

a chain of ice cream stores called Scoops. The company already has a server$-$based network. The

server holds the company's inventory, ordering, sales, time tracking, and employee information.

This server is situated beside the Thrift store. Two other Scoops stores in town connect to the

central server through high$-$speed Internet connections. Again, there are less than ten employees

in each store, and you can assume that the number of employees in each store will never be more

than $10.$ Scoops have problems with heavy traffic and slow server response between $8$:$00$ am and

$9$:$00$ am each day. Now answer the following questions:

What class of IP address do you recommend in the private network for each office?

$,$ Provide at least three suggestions to get a faster response time for the server between $8\mathrm{.}00$

am and $9\mathrm{.}00$ am$.(3$ Points$)$
