You have just begun working as a networking consultant with MTI Technologies Inc.
One of your first tasks is to help troubleshoot a small Ethernet network at a tax preparation office in the city of Chicago called Taxes-r-Us. The backbone of this network consists of six hubs connected in a bus fashion. Three of the hubs service workgroups of 10 workstations each. One of the hubs services two file servers and two shared printers.
In anticipation of tax season and a heavier workload, the organization recently upgraded its network from 10BaseT to100BaseT. However, they have not seen any of the performance increases they expected.  Before even visiting the firm, what can you suggest as reasons for the less than optimal performance? Write a letter to the President of Taxes-r-Us explaining in non-technical terms why they are not seeing any performance improvements on their network (after they upgraded the network speed by a factor of ten). Your letter should also have an appendix (or attachment) where you will specify the network modifications necessary for a 100BaseT operating environment. These network modifications should be very detailed and are intended for the Network Administrator at Taxes-r-Us.
