DESIGN OBJECTIVE
Design a CSR network for a telecom service provides having a
DC at Hyderabad and covering MP. The network should reach
to important cities and up to all district places in the state.
Design a detailed network for Bhopal considering 10 customer
services centres in the city.
WAN( Wide Area Network)
Is a computer network that covers geographically disperse
areas i.e. a WAN network can be setup between-
Two cities
Between countries
Across continents
TYPES OF WAN SERVICES
WAN TECHNOLOGIES
Technology Typical Uses
Leased Line PPP networks, hub and spoke, back-ups
ISDN Remote-access to corporate networks,
voice, video, back-ups
Frame Relay Fast, efficient mesh between remote sites
WAN DESIGN REQUIREMENT
•WAN communication is often called a service because the
network provider often charges users for the WAN services
it provides.
•All technologies and features used in WANs are developed
to meet the following design requirements:
• Optimize WAN bandwidth.
• Minimize cost.
• Maximize the effective service to the end users.
•New WAN infrastructures must be:
• more complex.
• based on new technologies.
• able to handle an ever-increasing (and rapidly changing)
application mix with required and guaranteed service levels.
LAN/WAN INTEGRATION
LAN/WAN, previously logically separated, must now be fully
integrated for seamless performance
Both now must be able to handle...
• Voice traffic (VoIP)
• Bandwidth intensive multimedia applications
Video conferencing
On-line training
• Increased business critical data access
WAN DESIGN STRATEGIES
• Mesh
Network is flat
All routers perform same function
Expansion proceeds haphazardly
• Hierarchical
Organized in layers
Easier to implement/Troubleshooting
Scalability
Predictability
BENEFIT OF HIERARCHICAL DESIGN
Scalability
– allows for future growth without sacrificing control or
functionality
Ease of Implementation
– logically constructed layers specify the functions of each layer
Ease of troubleshooting
– well-defined functions at each layer aid in the isolation of
problems
Predictability
– behavior of functional layers can be estimated and planned for
Protocol support
– allows easier implementation of future technologies because
the network has been logically constructed
Manageability
– All the above aids in overall management of the network
