Abstract
Network protocols are standards that permit computers to communicate. This paper explains how a protocol defines how computers recognize one another on a network, the form that the data should take during transfer, and how this information is processed once it reaches its target. It looks at two main concepts TCP and IP -
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always seen in the grouping TCP/IP.
From the Paper
"Generally speaking, TCP/IP is a software-based communications protocol used in networking. The name TCP/IP implies that the product is a combination of two protocols. However, the term TCP/IP is usually not a single entity, but a larger set of software programs that provide network services. These services include remote logins, remote file transfers, and electronic mail. TCP/IP provides a method for transferring information from one machine to another, and manages the routing and delivery of data, controls the actual transmission of data by the use of predetermined status signals, and handles errors in transmission (Hutchinson, 1999)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides an overview of Network Time Protocol (NTP), followed by a general discussion concerning its current applications and potential future trends. A summary of the research and important findings are provided in the conclusion. The writer notes that the research shows that Network Time Protocol is a longstanding Internet protocol that is used to ensure the accurate synchronization to the millisecond of computer clock times in a network of computers. The writer concludes that NTP is here to stay for the foreseeable future and further refinements in its functionality can reasonably be expected to follow industry and user needs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Furthermore, Mills maintains that NTP can reasonably be said to be the longest running, continuously operating, ubiquitously available protocol in the Internet; the NIST, as well as their counterparts in other countries, currently provide multiple NTP primary servers directly synchronized to national standard cesium clock ensembles and GPS. More than 230 Internet primary servers are already in Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Holland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and the United States and NTP provides function to more than a million Internet servers and clients are all over the world. Network Time Protocol is used by agencies and organizations such as the U.S. Weather Service, U.S. Treasury Service, the Internal Revenue Service, Public Broadcasting Station, Merrill Lynch, Citicorp, GTE, Sun, DEC, Hewlett-Packard and others etc. Moreover, private networks are reported to have more than 10,000 NTP servers and clients behind firewalls; one (GTE) reports in the order of 30,000 NTP workstations and PCs and NTP has even been used on the NASA Shuttle and in the Antarctica in planning efforts for the envisioned Mars Internet."

Abstract
This paper looks at the variety of standard protocols available to programmers. The paper considers their advantages, disadvantages, reliability, speed, and flexibility. The paper also discusses implementation of the protocols and takes a look at industry and international standards.
From the Paper
"In Information Technology (IT), protocols are agreed-upon formats for transmitting data between two devices (Webopedia, 2003). They determine the type of error checking to be used as well as the method, if any at all, of data compression used. The manner in which the sending device indicates that it has finished sending a message and how the receiving device will indicate that it has received such a message are two more common situations resolved by protocols."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol, which enables different devices to connect through a common, shared medium by providing three main features: The ability to detect when the shared media is free and the device should send the data, the ability to decide what to do if the data collides with data from another device and the ability to determine how long to wait before re-sending data that has collided. The paper includes illustrations
From the Paper
"The data is monitored during transmission and if it changes, a collision is assumed to have occurred and the detecting device sends out a ?jam bit? or ?jam sequence,? a random bit pattern meant to ?kill the corrupted frames.? At the other end, MAC receivers read the first 6 bytes of the PCI, determining the destination address of the frame. If that address matches it?s own, the receiver continues to read the rest of the frame. The PDU or data payload of the frame is then read, followed by the CRC. The MAC receiver calculates the CRC to detect any errors in the data, such as a collision, and allows it to discard corrupted frames. Once done, the receiver transmits back confirmation data to the source, notifying it whether the data was sent successfully or was corrupted and needs to be resent."

Abstract
This paper explores TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and how it is the driving force behind the scenes of the Internet and most business networks today. It examines how, even though the name insinuates that there are only two protocols involved, TCP/IP consists of several different protocols. It looks at how these protocols are designed to work together to ensure the transfer of data communications across the Internet so that information arrives the same way it was sent and how they include many important features, such as logical addressing, routing, name service, error and flow control, and applications support.
From the Paper
"The layer above the Network Access layer is the Internet layer, at this layer the most important protocol lies ? IP. The IP protocol sends the data packets from one to point to another. On a routed network it is not possible to deliver the data by only using its physical address therefore a logical address is needed. The network is organized by a logical addressing scheme, holding logical addresses, and is maintained by the IP protocol at the Internet layer. The logical address is known as the IP address. ?The Address Resolution Protocol assembles a table that maps IP addresses to physical addresses. This Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table is the link between the IP address and the physical address burned into the network adapter card? (Casad, Hour 4)."

Tuberculosis and Compliance with Medical Protocols, 2002.
A paper which discusses the forced detention of tuberculosis sufferers and the urgency for a solution to be found to the problem of non-compliance with medical protocols.
3,745 words (approx. 15.0 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 103.95
»

Abstract
The paper shows that most tuberculosis sufferers are homeless or substance abusers and by not complying with medical protocols on TB treatment, they are endangering the general public. The paper questions the right of the State to detain these people by force in an attempt to protect the public, and further outlines a research proposal designed to determine how medical professionals could better work with patients to produce a higher level of compliance with medical protocols for the treatment of tuberculosis.
From the Paper
"People often have very good reasons for being non-compliant, and in fact their non-compliance often results from the failure of medical staff to be empathetic towards their problems. One reason, for example, that people fail to comply with drug protocols is due to side effects. Medical staff who do not adequately explain the severity of possible side effects, who do not express concern for the patient?s experience with these side effects, and who do not treat these side effects as effectively and vigorously as possible are themselves contributing to non-compliance in those patients. This is clearly part of the process of treatment in which nurse?s behavior can be changed and the effects of these changes studied."

Abstract
This paper traces the development of the networking protocol known as "gigabit ethernet" or "GE." A brief background on ethernet is given, including its strengths as a strong foundation for computer networks. Then, the paper discusses the need for gigabit speeds and how the Gigabit Ethernet Alliance went about creating the new standard. The new standard is then described, starting with the physical (PHY) layer (including fiber optics) and how it differs from the older fast ethernet connection. The MAC layer is then described, then the new protocols are described in detail. After briefly touching upon the new hardware needed for GE, the author then describes how the new standard is catching on and some of its applications. The paper closes with a summary of why GE was developed and its importance, including a mention of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, an enhancement currently in development.

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of how propaganda and persuasion are used to foment anti-Semitism in the Middle East. It provides a general discussion of what propaganda is and how it developed. The paper focuses on one example of propaganda in action: "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion", a piece of anti-Jewish propaganda.
From the Paper
"Propaganda is one of the most loaded terms in the modern lexicon. At heart propaganda is an attempt to manipulate an audience in order to achieve a certain goal. This manipulation can occur in any number of ways including the use of visual imagery editorials and the spread of misinformation. This paper will examine what propaganda is, how it has developed and how it works. We will then look at a case-study of propaganda in action - The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion ..."

Abstract
The paper explains how the recent decision of the Israeli government to close the Karni Crossing has sparked a great deal of debate within the international community. This paper delves into the tense history precipitating the closure, states the law which the Israeli decision to close the crossing appears to contravene, outlines the facts of the present situation in Gaza (that is to say, what the closure means for Palestinians), provides an analysis of why the closure is clearly a breach of international law (chiefly, the closure constitutes the use of force by an occupying power as per international conventions and protocols) and lastly, looks at what can be done to resolve this troubling situation without further rancor.

The author stresses that VoIP has problems of confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data and information, which streams through the network. The paper presents a chapter outline of a thesis, which will discuss implementation of VoIP network security emphasizing maintaining the efficiency of this system.
Table of Contents:
Abstract
Chapter One - Advent of Information Technology and the Rise of VoIP
Chapter Two - The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as One of the Foundations of VoIP
Chapter Three - Standards for Voice Over IP Implementations
Chapter Four - Proofs of Concept on the Security and Efficiency of VoIP Implementation
Chapter Five - Conclusion
From the Paper
"Any type of implementation, procedures or processes in existent today should and must adhere to certain standards and industry best practices. VoIP is no different and in this chapter, available standards will be examined in order to determine the validity of the parameters used in the various proofs of concept performed by different proponents. Beginning with RFC 3261, the document will be benchmarked against two United States government publications that define not only VoIP implementation but security considerations involved in the planning up to the operations stage."

From the Paper
"In the current network environment several vendors manufacture adapters and base stations. In addition the cost associated with the implementation of WiFi systems has decreased tremendously and WiFi is now available in schools, homes and the workplace (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002). The article further reports that the use of WiFi in the home has come as a result of the increased popularity of higher-speed Internet access such as cable and DSL. In addition bases stations permit internet access to be shared amongst several users. In the case of Apple's airport the DHCP ('dynamic host configuration protocol') is already a part of the Airport hub, and several devices can share the same IP number. The base station can also be attached to an Ethernet Internet connection. Many base stations also have firewall protection.
"The use of WiFi is also extremely popular because it allows mixed networks to exist harmoniously (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002). This means that Mac and Windows computers can operate using the same WiFi network (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002). In addition to the networking of computers peripherals and mobile devices that have Wi Fi cards can also operate on the network (Emerging Technologies: Wireless Networks, 2002)."
