From the Paper:

"Local network of an enterprise covers 120 personal computers of users and 15 servers on the base of PC Intel platform, which are situated on the four floors of the office building. Every floor is designed on the base of specification 100BASE-TX, wiring is represented by cable UTP Cat 5e. Network's speed is provided at the rate of 100Mbps and network uses the same kind of Ethernet channel level packets. Besides client computers, network also contains printers. Maximum number of printers per floor is 10 items. Switching is executed on each floor in wiring closet, one per floor. Wiring closets contain switchboards , patch -panels and 19" UPS. The distance from closet to working area of client computers does not exceed 90 meters. For providing high switching speed network uses HP procurve switch 2324 on 24 ports. Because the total number of connections is 40 and there has to be a reserve for future connections, the number of 48 ports would satisfy future requirements of the network. Both switches are connected by high speed channel of 1Gbps by means of using special modules. All three floors have the same type equipment."
