3. Explain problems, techniques and solution
In order to conduct the research, there are several challenges has been found such as scalability issue,
complexity in adoption of IoT and vulnerability of using intelligent system. According to ideas of
Wortmann & Flüchter, (2015), the key challenge is scalability of internet of things. The IoT devices
need to be managed for mitigating the scalability problems. In order to access the scalability
challenge, it is important to implement the discrete event simulation. The discrete event simulation of
IoT can enable the hypothetical intelligent system in order to provide average results. The discrete
stimulation ensures the identification of some challenges that are related to traffic flow as well as
nodes of network. In accordance with the ideas of Da Xu, He & Li, (2014), the packet tracer can be
useful techniques for solving out the problem. Moreover, it can enable the smart offices for creating
opportunities of development the network design. The packet tracer technology can access the
location of IP address and provides a proper geographical location of the internet sources. Moreover,
the packet tracer can help to develop good network design with the help of DHCP server and remote
server. In addition, the DHCP server and remote server can monitor the usage of the internet-
connected devices. The implementation of the internet-connected devices can develop strong security
system within the networking designing system. In addition to the ideas of Gordieiev, Lobur &
Kozak, 2016), the author has focused on the security challenges as well as implementation
challenges of using smart devices. The study has presented numerous approaches in order to
reduce the identified problem.
4. Explain suitable technology for project
There are suitable technologies of the current project are to develop network-designing system within
the smart office in Sydney. In order to develop well networking system, there are several techniques
can be used such as DHCP server, Remote Server, Wireless Router as well as Packet Tracer File.
DHCP server: the DHCP server is applied for creating IP address for all internet-connected
devices. In addition, the server can enable the smart devices in order to create strong network
accessibility in smart devices. DHCP server serves as a network server that function
automatically providing as well as assigning IP addresses, defaults gateways as well as other
network parameters to connected physical devices. It basically relies on the standards protocol

Internet of Things (IoT)

called as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol which responds to broadcast queries by
connected devices.
Remote Server: In the case of remote server, a static IP address is required for all smart devices.
In this case one static IP address is used for accessing network among all internet connected
devices. The remote access server is used in IoT to allow the users to gain access to files as well
as print services with the help of LAN (Local Area Network) from a distant or remote location.
A remote server offer VPN connection allowing user to connect to a private business network
from remote using a computer or laptop connected to internet. This allows the users to access the
secure resources on that particular network as if they are directly plugged into the network
servers.
Wireless Router: The wireless Router is used to connect the devices to the cloud of a network
system. It is essential to introduce the local area network in order to use the wireless router.
Moreover, a cable modem is used for accessing wireless router. The wireless router is used to
offer access to the connected physical devices to the internet or a private network.
Packet Tracer File:
The researcher has used CISCO packet tracer in the case of stimulating surveillance system of
internet things. In addition, the author stated that net packet tracer could identify the trouble-
shooting problem and routing problem. According to the ideas of Bayani, Segura, & Mora,
(2017), it has been proposed that using of the packet tracer can show the geographical location of
an IP address.
5. Recommendation
The study has recommended for using the proper protocol and intelligent system in order to develop
the designing the network system. Moreover, the study recommends implementing discrete event
simulation of IoT. This stimulation process of IoT can enable the hypothetical intelligent system in
order to provide average results. The discrete stimulation ensures the identification of some
challenges that are related to traffic flow as well as nodes of network. In addition, it can be

opportunities of development the network design. The packet tracer technology can access the
location of IP address and provides a proper geographical location of the internet sources. In
addition, it can be recommended that development of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, bluetooth
and ZigBee alliance can make a significant movement for network system development.
