Between the OSI and TCP/IP Model, which one seems more useful for describing networks? Justify your answer.

The OSI model, to me it was easier to understand this model because it had more layers that were easier to grasp what they did.

Suppose Champlain College was given a Class A network ID for its network (i.e., it had 224 addresses to assign to computers). Give one reason why this would be a good thing, and one reason why this might be a bad thing.

It would be able to support more people using it but it is also unnecessary as it does not need as many as class A gives it.

How would you classify Champlain's network (for example, is it a PAN, LAN, or WAN)? Justify your answer.

LAN since it is a small college that does not seem to spread too far out.
