UNIT-III
Case Study: GPS Navigation and Internet Routing
Real-Time Example: Google Maps Route Selection
Introduction
GPS navigation systems and Internet routing are widely used technologies that help users and
data packets reach their destinations efficiently. While GPS finds the best route for vehicles,
 COMPUTER NETWORKS(AM503PC)
Internet routing protocols determine the optimal path for data transmission across networks.
Problem
A logistics company managing a fleet of delivery vehicles faced challenges in identifying the
shortest and fastest routes for deliveries. Similarly, its computer network needed efficient
routing to ensure quick and reliable communication between branch offices.
Analysis
Both GPS navigation and Internet routing rely on routing algorithms to determine optimal
paths. GPS systems use map data, traffic conditions, and shortest-path algorithms, while
Internet routers use routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, and BGP to select the best path for
data packets.
Solution Implemented
The company implemented:
 GPS-based navigation systems in delivery vehicles.
 Dynamic route planning based on real-time traffic information.
 OSPF routing protocol within the organization's network for efficient packet
forwarding.
 Network monitoring tools to identify and resolve routing issues.
Results
 Delivery times were reduced due to optimized travel routes.
 Fuel consumption decreased.
 Data transmission between offices became faster and more reliable.
 Network congestion and packet delays were minimized.
Conclusion
GPS navigation and Internet routing share the common objective of finding the most efficient
path from source to destination. By applying routing algorithms in transportation and
computer networks, organizations can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall
performance. This case study demonstrates the practical importance of routing concepts in
both real-world transportation systems and computer networking environments.

UNIT-IV
Case Study: Online Banking vs Video Streaming
Real-Time Example: UPI/Bank Transactions and YouTube Streaming
Introduction
Different Internet applications have different network requirements. Online banking requires
secure and reliable data transfer, while video streaming requires high bandwidth and low
buffering. This case study demonstrates how Quality of Service (QoS) helps manage network
resources for both applications.
Problem
 COMPUTER NETWORKS(AM503PC)
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) observed that during peak hours, customers experienced:
 Delays while accessing online banking services.
 Buffering and poor video quality during video streaming.
 Network congestion due to increased traffic.
The challenge was to ensure satisfactory performance for both services despite limited
network resources.
Analysis
The ISP analysed the characteristics of the two applications:

Application Requirement
Online Banking High reliability, security, low packet loss
Video Streaming High bandwidth, low latency, continuous data flow

Since both services compete for the same network bandwidth, congestion can negatively
affect user experience.
Solution Implemented
The ISP implemented Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms:
 Prioritized banking transactions to ensure reliable and secure communication.
 Allocated sufficient bandwidth for video streaming services.
 Used traffic classification and packet scheduling techniques.
 Monitored network traffic continuously to prevent congestion.
Results
 Banking transactions were completed quickly and securely.
 Video streaming quality improved with reduced buffering.
 Network resources were utilized more efficiently.
 Customer satisfaction increased significantly.
Conclusion
Online banking and video streaming have different network requirements. Quality of Service
(QoS) techniques help prioritize and manage network traffic effectively, ensuring reliable
banking services and smooth multimedia streaming. This case study highlights the
importance of QoS in modern computer networks.

UNIT-V
Case Study: Accessing a website
Real-Time Example: Opening Google or College Website
Introduction
Accessing a website is one of the most common activities performed on the Internet.
When a user enters a website address in a web browser, multiple networking protocols
and services work together to retrieve and display the requested webpage.
Problem
 COMPUTER NETWORKS(AM503PC)
A student wants to access the college website to view examination results and download
study materials. The challenge is to ensure that the webpage is located, accessed, and
displayed quickly and reliably.
