Decide on your topic. Your entrants need to know specifically what topic they should be writing on. Topics are directly related to the organization running the contest. For example, The Ayn Rand Institute sponsors several annual contests for essays about her novels.
Budget your time. Essays take time to write, read, and evaluate; therefore, you have to make sure you leave enough time to cover those three stages. The Anthem essay contest runs yearly with a submission deadline in March and a notification of winners in July. This means those participating can have up to a year to write their essay, but the judges have three months to read and evaluate the entries. Keeping in mind this is a well-publicized contest, you may not need as much time, but it is better to have more time rather than less.
Set the rules. The rules set the expectations for your entrants. First and foremost, you want to ensure you have set minimum and maximum word counts for the submitted essay. This is also where you decide if you will take multiple submissions from entrants, what the manuscripts should look like, who can or cannot participate. Most contests will not allow anyone directly affiliated with the organization running the contest to participate. Also determine if you are going to keep all submissions or return them.
Select the judges and request their participation.
Choose your submission method. Unless you wish to get a lot of mail, it is simpler these days to have essays turned in by email. However, you must keep in mind using a solely electronic method may limit your pool of entrants. Therefore, most essay contests have both an electronic submission method and a physical mailing method available.
Consider prizes. There is no bigger draw for a contest than getting something out of it. If you are not a very large organization, you may wish to offer exposure as an incentive instead of a monetary prize. Some contests make money to offer cash prizes through requiring entry fees. Entry fees can be a good or bad thing in that there will be a number of people who do not enter because of them, though it can bring in capital for those hosting the contest.
Advertise your contest. Consider using message board related to your topic or organization for advertising. If you have a mailing list, utilize it to get the word out for your contest.
Notify your winners on time and make sure you come through with your prizes. One quick way to ruin your reputation as a contest is not to follow through on your promises.

How Is a Router's Routing Table Updated?In Feburary 2016 05,
In Feburary 2016 05,
A routing table is a collection of information on where a network is located in reference to the router the table is in. Routers can have one or many ports, and each port can access many different networks. The routing table specifies on which port a packet is sent out based on the address the packet is for. All routing tables contain at least one entry known as the default gateway. The default gateway is where packets are sent if they are addressed to a network that the table has no route for.As an example, let's say you have a router with the following entries in the routing table: network 192.168.1.0 is reached via port 1, network 192.168.2.0 is reached via port 2, network 192.168.3.0 is reached via port 3, and port 4 is the default gateway. If a packet is addressed to 192.168.3.1, the router checks the routing table to see what port network 192.168.3.0 is reached through. Since that network is reached through port 3, the packet is then sent out via port 3. A packet destined for network 192.168.10.0 would leave via port 4 because port 4 is the default gateway, and there is no known route for that network address. It is important to note that the receiving network does not have to be connected directly to a port, only that it is reached by that port. This would occur if there was another router in the line that was directly connected to the receiving network.
Dynamic vs. Static Tables
Routing tables updates depend on how the table is made. If the routing table is static, then updates must be done manually by a network administrator. This is one of the reason why static tables are not popular. If the table is dynamic, then changes will be made automatically. Dynamic routing tables can be changed manually, and the first entries are often added by the network administrator to allow for quicker routing from the start.
Updating Dynamic Tables
For every packet sent across the network, a reply packet is sent back. When the router with a dynamic routing table receives a return packet, it examines the header information to see the route that was taken. It will then use that information to update its router table if it can. If the packet returns on the default gateway, no updates are made, as all packets for the receiving network were already routed through that port from the beginning. In the previous example, if the packet that was sent out via port 4 for network 192.168.10.0 returned via port 2, the routing table would update to show that both networks 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.10.0 are reached via port 2. The next packet sent to network 192.168.10.0 would then leave via port 2 instead of the default gateway.
