The network pictured below represents the layout of computers in a wired office layout. All possible wiring paths are shown. (Some obstacles exist between computers that eliminate some possible path.) Each node is a location of PC and the branches represents cables connecting the computers, the number on a branch indicates the length of path in meters.
Suppose that node 1 is a server that needs to be connected to each and every in dividual PC. The cable system used requires each PC to have a unique connection.
1- What type of network problem is this ?
2- Start from Node 1. Determine by manual calculation, the minimum total amount of cable that would be needed to connect each and every individual computer to the network server. note: submitt your step by step manual solution to this problem.
3- Sketch the final network diagram.
4- Suppose node 1 is the entry point for a cable system that will tie all the computer together into one network.
5- What type of network problem is this?
6- Start from node 1- determine by manual calculation the minimum total amount of cable that would be needed to link each and every individual computer into a single network.
7- Sketch the final netwrok diagram
