The reason of choosing the article is that BITMAP is considered as one of the most important factors when relating to the modern computer architecture. It can be stated that the BITMAP is a primary factor when relating to the concept of the internet. The main working aspect of the technology is that it can forward and store network which is quite similar to the technology of UseNet. When relating to the full form of the BITMAP it is because of the internet. It is basically based on the concept of the IBM’s concept of VNET email system and the sub system which is related to the remote spooling communication. Later on the emulation of the technology of the RSCS was done into other operating system’s which are DEC VMS and a portion of UNIX which was an extended portion which is related to the BITMAP. The BITMAP concept introduced many concepts which can be actively used in the participation. The concept can be varied into many fields, and it included more than one service which was attached to it. The overall concept created a backbone to the concept of TCP/IP protocol of the computer system.

Ethernet is an example of a Layer Two (L2) data link protocol that is discussed in the text.  Find and summarise a resource that describes the features and uses of ONE other L2 protocol that is not discussed in the text (i.e. NOT Ethernet).

This article which is selected above puts direct emphasis on the concept of the most important and common layer 2 protocol which is termed as the address Resolution Protocol (ARP). The article is mainly chosen because the address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is considered as the most primary and useful protocol. The address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is considered as the integral part in the running of the of the IP network which are mainly used in the Ethernet and also can be related to the concept of Wi-Fi. Taking into account the history of the technology it was developed in the year 1980 mainly with the main point of creating an address resolution protocol. The address Resolution Protocol (ARP) main function is to convert the internet protocol address to the physical network. The technology is mainly implemented in the ATM, which are mainly physical type and the token ring. Considering the advantage related to the implantation is that it manages the overall connection of the system irrespective of the physical device in particular which are connected with each other. The address Resolution Protocol (ARP) performs its main activity in the layer two protocol of the OSI model. When the address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is maintained in every device it helps in mapping of the Internet protocol to the MAC address mapping. Based on the overall concept of the address Resolution Protocol (ARP) an inverse of the address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and a reverse of address Resolution Protocol (ARP)is also developed.

Week 3

The text mentions the role of hackers in attacks on networked infrastructure.  Find and summarise a resource that describes ONE famous or well-known hacker.

The role of the hacker is the main point of focus in the above stated article. When hackers term is taken into consideration the first name which comes to the mind is Kevin Mitnick.
