This document presents a comprehensive solution to an IT Fundamentals assignment. It begins by exploring networking concepts, standards, and protocols, including the OSI and TCP/IP models, and analyzes the overhead in IPv4 and IPv6. The assignment then delves into SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) and ITSM (IT Service Management), examining current trends, the roles and responsibilities of incident and change managers, and the limitations of the waterfall and V-shaped models, contrasting them with the spiral model. The solution also differentiates between the waterfall and V-models. The provided solution offers a detailed analysis of IT fundamentals, incorporating various aspects of networking, SDLC, and ITSM, to facilitate a better understanding of the subject.
