Advantages & Disadvantages Twisted pair, Coaxial cable & Optic fiber

Twisted Pair

Advantages : 1. Cheaper and far easier to splice
2. Less susceptible to electrical interference caused by nearby equipment or wires.
3. In turn are less likely to cause interference themselves.
4. Because it is electrically "cleaner", STP wire can carry data at a faster speed.

Disadvantages : 1. STP wire is that it is physically larger and more expensive than twisted pair
wire.
2. STP is more difficult to connect to a terminating block.

Coaxial Pair

Advantages : 1. Coaxial cable can support greater cable lengths between network devices than twisted pair cable.
2. Thick coaxial cable has an extra protective plastic cover that help keep moisture
away.

Disadvantages : 1. Thick coaxial is that it does not bend easily and is difficult to install.

Fiber Optic

Advantages : 1. One single mode fiber can replace a metal of time larger and heavier.
2. Multi-mode optical cable has a larger diameter and can be used to carry signal
over short distance.

Disadvantages : 1. Fiber optic versus metal cable is that it is difficult to make connections to
fiber optic cable.
2. The optical fiber must be highly polished to allow light to pass with little loss.

MESH TOPOLOGY & TREE TOPOLOGY

MESH TOPOLOGY

A type of network setup where each of the computers and network devices are interconnected with one another, allowing for most transmission to be distributed even if one of the connections go down. This type of topology is not commonly used for most computer network as it is difficult and expensive to have redundant connection to every computer. However, this type of topology is commonly used for wireless network. Below is a visual example a simple computer setup on a network using a mesh topology.

TREE TOPOLOGY

Among all the network topologies we can derive that tree topology is a combination of the bus and the star topology. The tree like structure allows you to have many servers on the network and you can branch out the network in many ways. This is particularly helpful for colleges, universities, and school. So that each of the branches can identify the relevant system in their own network and yet connect to the big network in some way.
The tree structure suits best when the network is widely spread and vastly divided into many branches. Like any other topologies, the tree topology has its advantages and disadvantages. A tree network may not suit small networks and it may be a waste of cable to use it for small network. Tree topology has some limitations and the configuration should suit those limitations.

E-COMMERCE

BUSINESS TO BUSINESS

B2B is major portion of E-COMMERCE activities. However, many third party exchanges suffer in making their business succesfull, although the corporations are increasing the adoption of B2B for e-procurement. B2B standars and ebXML are not widely accepted in the real world as we have anticipated.

BUSINESS TO CONSUMER

B2C involves what is known as electronic retailing or e-tailing. E-tailing involves online retail sales. E-tailing makes it easier for a manufacturer to sell directly to a consumer, cutting out the need for an intermediary (retailer). With B2C transactions there is no need for retailers or therefore, no need for a physical store from which to distribute product.

CONSUMER TO CONSUMER

C2C exchange involve all transaction between or among consumers. These transactions can also include third party involvement, usually in the form of those who facilitate the marketplace such as EBay.com.
In C2C network, consumer sell goods and service to another consumers. C2C has given online shopping and trading a new dimension.
