某大学决定把每一门重要课程的内容采用多媒体技术转换成为生动形象的图文声像多媒体信息课件,允许学生在多媒体课堂上以100Mb/s速率点播,主动并且交互式地进行自学、重点学习或复习。为满足多媒体教学要求,且综合考虑性价比,图3-14所示的结构中位于多媒体教室的7台以太网交换机(Switch4~ Switch10)应选择表3-4中哪种类型的交换机
表3-4 部分交换机设备配置表

设备类型 配置描述
Switch_A  1个100BaseTx以太网端口和24个10BaseT以太网端口,交换容量≥0.5Gb/s,包转发率≥2Mpps
Switch_B  1个100BaseFx端口、1个100BaseTx端口和24个10BaseT以太网端口,交换容量≥2Gb/s,包转发率≥6.6Mpps
Switch_C  1个2端口1000BaseSx模块、24个10/100BaseTx以太网端口,交换容量≥9.6Gb/s,包转发率≥8Mpps
Switch_D  1个2端口1000BaseLx模块、1个2端口1000BaseSx模块、24个10/100BaseTx以太网端口,具有MIB管理模块,交换容量≥24Gb/s,包转发率≥13.2Mpps
Switch_E  2个2端口1000BaseLx模块、24个10/100BaseTx以太网端口,具有MIB管理模块,交换容量≥32b/s,包转发率≥18Mpps,16MB缓存
Switch_F  1个8端口1000BaseLx模块,1个12端口1000BaseSx模块,12个1000BaseTx以太网端口,24个100BaseTx以太网端口,具有MIB管理模块,业务插槽数≥4,交换容量≥200Gb/s,包转发率≥200Mpps

答案

参考答案:选用Switch_D型号交换机

解析:这是一道要求读者根据校园网实际应用进行交换机设备选型的综合分析题。对于多媒体教室的4台以太网交换机选型的分析思路如下。
1)从题目所提供的信息可知,网络中心机房不在教学综合大楼楼内,两者之间距离约为250m。
2)阅读图3-14所示的网络拓扑可知,多媒体教室在教学综合大楼楼内,即多媒体教室与网络中心机房位于不同建筑物中,两者之间距离约为250m,因此这两者之间的物理连接不能使用非屏蔽双绞线,必须使用光纤作为传输介质。
3)允许学生在多媒体教室上以100Mb/s速率点播多媒体信息课件,这就要求多媒体教室的接入层交换机端口速率大于等于100Mb/s。由于表3-4中Switch_A、Switch_B型号交换机24个以太网端口速率为 10Mb/s,因此这两种型号交换机不能满足这一应用需求。
4)由于题目要求在满足多媒体教学要求的前提下,还要综合考虑性价比。由图3-14所示的网络拓扑可知,中心机房已配备了两台三层交换机L3 Switch1和L3 Switch2组成了该校园网络的核心层,由此判断山多媒体教室的7台以太网交换机Switch4至Switch10应处于该校园网络的接入层或汇聚层。根据工程经验可知,单模光纤的传输距离(≤3km)比多模光纤(≤550m)远,但单模光纤模块价格比多模光纤模块贵,阅读表3-4中Switch_F型号交换机的配置信息,并与Switch_C、Switch_D、Switch_E的配置信息对比,可知Switch_F型弓交换机的性能最好,它可能是—台三层交换机,考虑到价格因素暂不选用它。
5)假没在通信流量峰值时段,多媒体教室中160台客户机同时以100Mb/s速率点播多媒体服务器,网络中的通信流量将达到160×100Mb/s=16Gb/s,而Switch_C型号交换机的交换容量约为9.6Gb/s,因此这种型号交换机也不能满足这一应用需求。
6)对比Switch_D、Switch_E两种型号交换机的配置信息可知,Switch_E的性能比Switch_D高,但由于多媒体教室与网络中心机房之间距离约为250m,小于多模光纤最大传输距离550m,综合考虑价格因素,建议交换机Switch4至Switch10选用Switch_D型号交换机。另外Switch_D型号交换机配有1个2端口1000BaseLx模块可满足一对单模光纤的接入以适应未来的业务发展。

As people age and need more help with daily activities, such as bathing or taking medication, moving to a facility that provides some assistance, without sacrificing independence, may be an option. This type of environment, known as assisted living, has emerged in the past two decades as an increasingly available option for housing and long-term care. The growth of assisted living facilities has leveled off in recent years, however, as the economic downturn hampered new construction and occupancy rates.

In 2007, there were approximately 38 000 assisted living facilities nationwide, serving about 975000 residents. The overwhelming majority of assisted living residents in the United States are female, according to the National Center for Assisted Living. One of the most common types of facilities that provide assisted living are called continuing care retirement communities, which offer a stepwise approach to care, says Kerry Peck, an elder law attorney based in Chicago. "The concept is you age in place," meaning you never have to leave the grounds for housing, he says, "You buy an apartment or cottage, and then as your health declines, the facility agrees to provide continuing care. Some of the most successful centers have independent living, then assisted living, then a nursing home for acute care. "

But much like deciding whether a nursing home is necessary, the decision to move into an assisted living facility is not an easy one. So what factors should you consider when looking for a place to move to Mainly, you should think about what activities you or your loved one need help with. People residing in assisted living facilities may need assistance with any number of daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, using the bathroom, cooking or eating. About 87 percent of residents need help preparing meals, for example, and 81 percent need help with managing or taking their medications, reports the NCAL. Most residents come from living in private homes or apartments; fewer come from living with adult children or other family members, from nursing home facilities, retirement or independent living communities, or another assisted living or group home.

For some people, however, assisted living may not be an option, mostly for financial reasons. Assisted living facilities cost an average of $ 34 000 annually in 2009, compared to about $ 74 000 per year for a nursing home, according to research published in January in Health Affairs. How this expense is paid varies. Residents can buy into a facility by paying a large, upfront sum of money, followed by smaller monthly assessment fees. Or if the resident opts for a facility where he can rent instead, he would pay monthly for the cost of housing and care. The facilities are also mostly located in areas where home values are higher and people nearby have higher incomes.

From the first paragraph, we learn that ()

A. elderly people living in assisted living facilities have to be accompanied all the time

B.fluctuation of economy can have no much effect on the construction of assisted living facilities

C.assisted living facilities have been always increasing rapidly

D.assisted living facilities have become more and more popular in the past 20 years
