ISP and Internet Service
Abstract
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer access to the Internet and other network resources to their customers. The ISP marketplace is extremely competitive, requiring ISPs to provide their services with limited resources. In this study, I use constrained optimization to reflect the tensions between changing customer demands and infrastructure costs that the ISP faces in its investment decisions. Specifically, I model the traffic routing decisions, the investment in augmenting capacity decisions, and the investment in building network infrastructure decisions made by ISPs.
That is why I choose subject of my report is “ISP and Internet Service”. Working in live servers at Information Service Network Ltd. added huge experiences in upcoming career. Solving real life problems was another key issue. This report takes us through all the details of networking knowledge and experience gathered during this internship period.
In this report I focus primarily on explaining the factors that lead to changes in network performance and extract investment policies for ISPs to maximize the effectiveness of limited resources.

3.2 Events and Activities
3.2.1 Eudora
Eudora is a comprehensive electronic mail (email) software program that accesses your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or network to receive and send your email messages.
In Eudora, you can write messages and send them with custom stationery and signatures. You can send files, both text and graphic, created in other programs and “attach” them to your email messages. You can forward messages, redirect them, or reply to all recipients of a message.
You can set up mailboxes and folders for your mail and build “filters” to sort messages, alert you, and even send an automatic reply.
All your favorite addresses can be stored in your personal address book, or you can let Eudora search for addresses for you. And if you use more than one ISP, Eudora allows you to create “multiple personalities,” to send and receive mail to multiple accounts [5].
Figure 3.1: Eudora home page.
3.2.2 Winbox
Winbox is a small utility that allows administration of MikroTik RouterOS using a fast and simple GUI. It is a native Win32 binary, but can be run on Linux and MacOS (OSX) using Wine. All Winbox interface functions are as close as possible to Console functions, that is why there are no Winbox sections in the manual. Some of advanced and system critical configurations are not possible from winbox, like MAC address change on an interface [5].
Figure 3.2: Winbox home page after opening (.exe) file.
3.2.3 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for managing or monitoring devices, where many of these devices are network-type devices such as routers, switches, and so on. SNMP enables a single application to first retrieve information, then push new information between a wide range of systems independent of the underlying hardware [5].
Figure 3.3: SNMP Management Protocol home page.
3.2.4 Real time interface monitoring
The Real-Time Bandwidth Monitor software can be installed on any modern 32- or 64-bit edition of Windows desktop and server operating systems.
Solar Winds Real-Time Interface Monitor can display many statistics from Routers and Switches simultaneously. Statistics such as Interface / Port status, time of last change, current receive and transmit traffic rates, interface percent utilization, duplex settings, collisions, alignment errors, runts, giants, and many others.
