Gateway (www.networcs.net), Policy Central (or other
monitoring software) data, BBC website, e-mail, voice
and video calls (e.g. Skype), streaming video and films
(e.g. YouTube).
 Examine the difference between home network
management and how access to the Internet at school
is controlled via School’s Broadband filtering and why.
 Use the Cisco resources, based on Peter Packet,
