*****Discussion Question 1*****
Whether you live in an urban, suburban, or rural neighborhood, it is likely you have encountered cultures other than your own. For this discussion, you are to choose one such encounter with a restaurant (if you do not go to ethnic restaurants, you can choose a food or clothing store or an entertainment venue. Then in 2 to 3 well-developed paragraphs, you are asked to provide details of that encounter.
For example, if you went to an ethnic restaurant serving foods you do not typically eat at home, you would include the following in your discussion.
* What type of restaurant is it?
* How often do you eat there?
* Why do you go to eat there?
* How are the foods served different from what you would eat at home or in an American-style restaurant?
* What dishes have you tried?
* If more than one, describe the one you enjoyed the most.
* Describe the dish, including the ingredients or spices that you recognized.
* Describe a similar dish your ancestors may have eaten. There are many parallel dishes across cultural cuisines.
* Can someone not from the culture make that dish?
* Could they find similar ingredients in your neighborhood?
* Where could they find the recipe?
* How hard would it be to prepare the dish?
* Would you recommend this type of restaurant? (Why or Why Not)
* Online
* To a family member
* To a friend
* To your fellow classmates
*****Discussion Question 2*****
Transport Layer
Answer the following questions in full paragraph form as though you are responding to job interview questions.
Instructions:
* Explain the definition, purpose, and use of the transport layer as though you are answering a detailed question during a job interview.
* Explain what TCP and UDP are, how they are used, and the differences between them as though you are answering during a job interview.
* Explain what type of traffic is more suited to each TCP and UDP and provide examples to support your explanations.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Subnetting
Please respond to a minimum of two peers.
Instructions:
1. Provide two additional points that you would have brought up in an interview.
2. Provide at least one way that the understanding of subnetting can support network troubleshooting.
3. Provide at least two questions that you would like to ask the original post’s author about their explanation of subnetting.
#1
* In terms of binary, explain in detail how you identify/differentiate the network and host portions of an IP address? When answering this, be sure to consider your answer to part 1 above.
The specified bits of the subnet mask address designate how many bits are attributed to the network with each binary “1” corresponding to the bits belonging to the network entity and the “0” for the available slots on the subnet. When translating the IP address and subnet mask to binary, you exclude the slots in the IP address that line up with the “0” of the subnet mask in order to identify the network of the host device.
* Given the IP address 192.168.1.78 with a subnet mask of: (choose one that has not already been chosen, if possible) 255.255.255.240 and taking into account your answer to #2 above, what network/subnet is this IP address on? Given the referenced information stated above, the subnet mask is 28 bits with the network being 192.168.1.64.
It is important to be well versed dealing with subnet masking in order to properly configure IP addresses, translate bits to identify the class of a network, identify which devices that should be in communication with your network, as well is identify how many hosts are available in a network.
#2
A subnet mask divides an IP address into two parts. The host (computer) is identified, and the network to which it belongs. TCP/IP protocol uses the subnet mask to determine if a host is on the local subnet or a remote network. According to Computer Networking Notes, “IP addresses can be written in three notations: binary, dotted decimal, and hexadecimal. From these notations, computers understand only binary notation. Binary notation is complex to write and understand. To make IP addresses human-friendly, IP addresses are also written in dotted-decimal and hexadecimal notations. If IP addresses are written in dotted-decimal or hexadecimal notation, computers automatically convert them into binary notation before processing them” (Para 3).
A network engineer may have to look up subnet mask values. IP address 255.255.255.252 would be on subnet mask 11111100. Binary 1 is equivalent to “on,” and 0 is “off.” According to Kris Koishigawa, “Generally, an IP address is made up of network bits and host bits” (Para 19).
Network administrators must remain fluent in subnet masking and addresses to help reduce network load and efficiently route traffic.
