The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Layer 3 (Network Layer) is one  of the layers that performs packet segmentation. The OSI Layer 3 is  roughly equivalent to the Internet Layer of the Transmission Control  Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) model, and Layer 4 (Transport Layer)  of the OSI model is roughly equivalent to the Host-to-Host layer of the  TCP/IP model. The above two layers perform network segmentation. Based  on the above information, answer the following questions: 

• Describe in detail how packets are segmented by the Host-to-Host  Layer (Transport Layer) and Internet Layer of the TCP/IP model.  
• Do all packets arrive at their destination in the order in which they were segmented and transmitted? Why or why not?   
• Describe how segmented packets are rearranged or reassembled at  the packets’ destination to ensure that received segmented packets  match the order in which they were segmented and transmitted.  
• How are errors handled during transmission of segmented packets?  
• What is the difference between a TCP segment and an IP packet?

Please answer the above questions to write your paper of 4–5 pages.  As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that  will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic information  technology (IT) articles or real-life IT findings that are not found in  journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your  answers. Please use APA style for all cited sources, including your  reference page. 

Please include the following elements in your paper of 4–5 pages:

• A title page   
• A report that includes the following:   
  • An introduction to the contents of the report   
  • Detailed explanations about the items listed regarding network segmentation, error handling, TCP segments, and TCP packets.

Please cite your references in APA format.

Case Study: Healing and Autonomy

Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection. The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment. Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve. The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with 

Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God. Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain

mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet, Mike

and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week,and in hopes that James would be healed by then.

Two days later the family returned and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. 

Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? To make matters

worse, James’s kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a

temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors.

Over the next few weeks, amidst daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to donate a kidney to James.

However, none of them were tissue matches. 

James’s nephrologist called to schedule a private appointment with Mike

and Joanne.

James was stable, given the regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year. Given the desperate situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’s brother Samuel. Mike vacillates and

struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a

kidney or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his faith will come in? Mike reasons, “This time around it is a matter of life and death. 

What could require greater faith than that?”

Deliverables

A two-page paper (12-point font, about 600 words) written in a word processor, such as MS Word

Assignment Details

In this activity, you will organize a series of statements into a cohesive structure that could be used as a framework on which to base a speech.

Perform the following tasks:

Step 1: Review the information presented in the lesson that covers concepts and issues related to efficient organizational methods.

Recall that the three main sections of a speech or presentation are the introduction, body, and conclusion.

Step 2: In a word processing document, write a brief definition or description for each of the following patterns of organization that can be used to structure the flow of information in a speech:

Topical Pattern

Temporal Pattern

Spatial Pattern

Problem-Solution Pattern

Cause-Effect Pattern

Monroe’s Motivated SequenceStep 3: Read the following list of statements about the topic of friendship.

Determine which of the patterns of organization might be useful to create a logical flow of information for the statements. Select one pattern of organization to use to organize the statements. It can be one of the six that you defined in Step 2 or another one from any of the lesson materials or another source.

Statements about Friendship*We develop an acquaintanceship.

Friendship is an interpersonal relationship between two persons that is characterized by mutual positive regard.

We meet.

In order to understand friendships, we need to see what a friendship is and its stages of development.

Friendship is one of the most important of our interpersonal relationships.

We develop an intimate friendship.

Friendships develop through various stages.

Friendships don’t develop full blown but rather go through various stages—from the initial meeting to intimate friendship.

We develop a casual friendship.

By understanding friendship we will be in a better position to develop and maintain productive and enjoyable friendships.

Friendship—an interpersonal relationship characterized by mutual positive regard—is one of our most important assets.

We develop a close relationship.

Friendship is vital to all of us.*These statements are from the Organizing a Scrambled Outline activity on the Course Compass website (Links to an external site.)

Step 4: Neatly write each statement about friendship on a separate Post-It note.

Stick the 13 separate Post-It notes to the edge of your desk or work table.

Step 5: Start arranging the Post-It notes to form a logical flow of the ideas represented by the statements.

Modify the arrangement as many times as needed to get it to fit into one of the organization patterns that you learned about in the lesson.

Step 6: Separate the Post-It notes into three groups: one group for the speech introduction, another for the body, and a final one for the conclusion.

Step 7: On the top of a sheet of blank paper, write the heading Introduction.

Determine which statements you would include in the speech introduction. Keeping them in order, stick the Post-It notes that contain these statements to the Introduction page.

Step 8: On the top of a second sheet of blank paper, write the heading Body.

Determine which statements you would include in the body of the speech. Keeping them in order, stick the Post-It notes that contain these statements to the Body page.

Step 9: On the top of a third sheet of blank paper, write the heading Conclusion.

Determine which statements you would include in the conclusion of the speech. Keeping them in order, stick the Post-It notes that contain these statements to the Conclusion page.

Step 10: Enter the information.

In your word processing document, enter the headings and associated statements.

Step 11: Copy and paste the questions below into your word processing document, and enter your answers.

Which pattern of organization did you use to structure the flow of statements?

Are there any other patterns that you could have potentially used? If so, which one(s)?

Based on your experience, do you think you will use the Post-It note technique to organize information for other assignments or projects? Why or why not?Step 12: Save and submit your document.
