The performance of a network application is influenced by two major network characteristics: the bandwidth of the network (number of bits per second that the network can transport) and the latency (the delay experienced by each bit transported).

Identify the requirements of the following applications in terms of bandwidth and latency, and then give an example of a specific network technology (not media nor LAN, MAN and WAN) that is suitable for each of these applications:

i) File transfers between Melbourne and Japan

ii) Bandwidth intensive interactive gaming using smartphone

iii) Internet connections for remote areas

iv) Connecting a large number of real-time low data transmissions sensors for critical event notification

v) Transferring a large file from local computer to a local server
