Question

Work with the topology in the following network diagram.

Decide which switching technologies, protocols, and physical media you should use for the following segments of the network:

The access layer between the Sports Facility Network and the Stadium Subnet

The Stadium Subnet and all devices connected to it

The Control Office Subnet and all devices connected to it

In a 2- to 3-page paper, indicate and justify your choices for the following items:

Bandwidth requirements for each wired or wireless segment

Cable technology

WiFi technology

Routers and switches

Be sure to use components currently available on the market today. You may need to search the Internet for vendors.

In addition to your analysis, indicate in your paper where these components should be placed on the diagram.

Explanation / Answer

Hey, I am sorry that I won't be able to comp[letely justify your problem asked in the question because you haven't mentioned the network diagram here but with my knowledge of networking I will try my best to clear as much your doubt I can.

If my answer helps you to get your doubt clear please give a LIKE as it will notify me that my effort was worth it and for any doubt do comment below.

lets first learn about these technologies and what are there use and then we will choose the best among them for setting up a network.

These technologies are used to create many different networking solutions, providing what could be an extremely reliable and robust network, or if done incorrectly, can be a thorn in your side for years to come.

Picking good quality solution from the start can set you up for networking bliss.

Routers -

------------provide internet access to all of the connected networks. It will take all of the network traffic in your network and determine where it should be sent, whether it be the internet or to your file/print server. Remote access to your network is also typically provided by a router. Some routers support DSL, others support NBN or Cable, so you need to make sure you select one that fits your internet connection.

See I am explaining about hub here along with switch because many people always had a doubt over both of these technologies.

These two devices provide the same function on a network, connecting all the devices together.

The two devices use different ways to deliver network traffic. A hub sends the traffic to all connected computers in the hopes that one of the computers is the right one.

A switch, on the other hand, has a list of what is connected and sends the traffic to the right place.

Take an example of a postman who is trying to deliver some mail, with a hub there is no street names or numbers, so he has to deliver it to every house, even after he has found the right one he has to keep going until all of them has been processed.

A switch, on the other hand, there are street names and numbers so the postman can find the address easily and deliver it once without wasting time and traffic.

Bandwidth is the capacity of a wired or wireless network communications link to transmit the maximum amount of data from one point to another over a computer network or internet connection in a given amount of time.

Wifi methods consume the uplink bandwidth to ISP. All traffic on a network that transmits the router (downloads, video streaming, etc.) shares the internet connection bandwidth. A wired connection has the capability to use more bandwidth than the wifi.

So selecting a good router and wifi technology is important for a good bandwidth.

While bandwidth is traditionally expressed in bits per second (bps), modern network links have greater capacity, which is typically measured in millions of bits per second (megabits per second, or Mbps) or billions of bits per second (gigabits per second, or Gbps).

Gigabit are more preferable these days and so for our network design too.

Rather than over-provisioning, the network with expensive dedicated links, dynamic bandwidth allocation provided by service providers is frequently used in wide area networks to increase capacity as needed for a particular event or at a particular time of day.

software-defined WAN technology provides customers with extra capacity because it makes bandwidth from multiple connections, rather than one, available to users..

All about cables required for the high-speed network../////

Any cable among them can be used mostly ethernet cable are used and is very reliable and efficient and cost friendly.

now let's move to routers and switches which is a very important aspect of networking

Here I will discuss some best vendors who are the leading seller for these technologies.

Avaya: Avaya’s branch office routers are products of the company’s strengths in voice communications. Its Secure Router Series includes QoS features that optimize voice and video performance.

Cisco Systems:  Cisco’s Integrated Services Router Generation 2 (ISR G2) Series. ISR G2 routers support a range of WAN interfaces, stateful firewalls, hardware VPN acceleration with DES, Triple DES and AES encryption, content filtering.

Juniper Networks: J Series routers support multiple WAN interfaces including serial, T1/E1, FE, DS3/E3, ISDN, ADSL2/2+, G.SHDSL, and Gigabit Ethernet.

These are the leading vendors in the field of switch and routers and can choose among them.

Hence I am mentioning one particular switch which is the most powerful switch and is perfect for these type of networks.

ExaLINK Fusion L1

LAYER 1 MATRIX SWITCH

The most powerful and flexible tool for low latency physical layer networking.

All ExaLINK Fusion devices include layer 1 matrix switch functionality. A layer 1 matrix switch is a powerful tool for tapping into connections, patching connections between ports and fanning-out connections from one port to many .

ExaLINK Fusion Layer 1 devices operate at the electrical layer. No packet processing is performed on the critical path. Average latencies through the device are under 4.3ns while minimum latencies are less than 3.1 ns

Features-

Now at the end lets discuss some most efficient protocols required for setting up this network

Asynchronous Transfer Mode

ATM is a packet switching protocol that enables encoding of data traffic into small predetermined sized cells. This protocol is based on connection-oriented technology.The protocol suite of ATM sets up a mechanism to route traffic on a data stream that has fixed 53-byte packets.

Broadband Access

Broadband or Broadband Internet Access refers to high speed Internet access, and is one of the most popular of WAN protocols due to its high data transmission rate. Broadband can yield speeds of 256 kbit/s or more. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL).Newer technologies that have evolved include Very High Bitrate DSL and fiber-optic cables.

Frame Relay

Frame Relay, a WAN protocol based on packet switching technology, is exclusively for internetworking Local Area Networks (LANs), that is, transmission of data between LANs and WAN endpoints. A cost-efficient method, frame relay is widely used by network providers as an encapsulation method for voice and data and used between LANs across a Wide Area Network

X.25

X.25 is a packet-switched network based WAN protocol for WAN communications. It delineates data exchange and control of information within a user appliance, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and a network node, leased lines, and telephone or ISDN connections. Its unique functionality is its capacity to work effectively on any type of system that is connected to the network

I hope the information provided by me was helpful.

Thankyou

and sorry i couldnt post a diagram as your question was missing one.
