ISP Setup "Research on Linux based ISP's of Pakistan"

Abstract

ISP technology is based on Internet operating system whereby information /data is routed in the form of packets through the Internet. Keeping in view the vital role of ISP's I have tried to the best of my knowledge and abilities to cover each and every aspect of its setup in this report. This repoti is in accordance to the fulfillment of a final year project proposal. The project that was undertaken in this regard was a research project and encompasses a detailed technical analysis regarding the general setup of Internet Service . Providers in Pakistan. This repoti primarily deals with the platforms, Technologies and the principle working of an ISP. This is a technical report and holds a wide variety of technically oriented terms, aspects and may conform to the existence of some technical background learning and knowledge in order to fully understand the text material provided in this report. Although I have tried to the best of my ability and knowledge to make the language and other technical details more easy to understand and more effective by the help and use of elaborate, correct and neat diagrams. Generally ISP's are more business-oriented organizations making use of the computer communication and networking technologies as a means of providing different services. Therefore they maintain a certain managerial hierarchy and business rules that are definitely required by every organization these days to both function and prosper in terms of maintenance and financial growth, but this project report has been specifically oriented designed and produced keeping in view the technical aspects related to computer science functioning of an ISP. Hence this report does not offer any hierarical setup or plan that provides a business-oriented outlook.
