Abstract

This research mainly aimed at establishing the current functionality of computer network systems, evaluating the causes of network faults, and developing an enhanced model based on the existing ACO model to help solve these network issues. The new model developed suggests ways of solving packet looping and traffic problems in common networks that use standard switches. The researcher used simulation as a method of carrying out this research whereby an enhanced algorithm was developed and used to monitor and control the flow of packets over the computer network. The researcher used an experimental research design that involved the development of a computer model and collecting data from the model. The traffic of packets was monitored by the Cisco Packet Tracer tool in which a network of four computers was created and used to simulate a real network system. Data collected from the simulated network was analyzed using the ping tool, observation of the movement of packets in the network and message delivery status displayed by the Cisco Packet Tracer. In the experiment, a control was used to show the behavior of the network in ideal conditions without varying any parameters. Here, all the packets sent were completely and correctly received. Secondly, when a loop was introduced in the network it was found that the network was adversely affected because for all packets sent by the computers on the network, none of them was delivered due to stagnation of packets. In the third experiment, still, with the loops on, a new ACO model was introduced in the cisco packet tracer used to simulate the network. In this experiment, all the packets sent were completely and correctly delivered just like in the control experiment.

Abstract

The world is moving towards digital economy where almost everything being done today is digitally controlled because necessity is the mother of innovation. Everybody is striving to attain digital stability as a lot of revenue is generated in the digital world. Digital divide therefore becomes so disadvantageous to people left without access to computers and the internet. In this paper, researchers discuss the role of Kenyan innovation hubs in closing the gap between those who have access to the internet and computers and those who do not. The paper discuss the World Bank projection of the GDP emanating from the use of ICTs and the challenges facing innovation. Government support plays a key role in ensuring that the people secluded from ICTs are able to access these services especially those in rural areas. This research found that in Kenya, innovation hubs have helped the citizens staying in rural areas to gain access to internet and develop their ideas and innovations as well as undergo mentorship. Nonetheless, a lot of support is needed from the Kenyan government through the launching of more innovation hubs especially in rural areas that can help improve the online business, innovation and thus increase the GDP from ICTs.
