PART I – Development of Questionnaire
1.1 Questions for Users
 What do you expect to be the response time for the new network?
 What applications in systems of the sports complex requires Internet connectivity?
 What transmission media is preferred for establishing network connections?
 What type of devices will be connected to the network for accessing the system?
1.2 Questions for sports complex management
 How many users will be using the network?
 How many number of departments will be accessing the network?
 Is it necessary that there has to be interlink between the different departments?
 What is the estimated budget for developing the required network?
 Is there a requirement that network has to be expanded in future to support growing
demand of the organization?
1.3 Questions for staffs
 What will be the major purpose for accessing the network?
 What applications are required for performing operations and activities?
 Does the installed applications require internet connectivity for performance?
 What is the number of users connected through Local Area Network (LAN)?
 Will you need the functionality to share files with other users accessing the system?
1.4 Purpose of each question
The purpose for preparing the questionnaire with different sets of questions for different users
who will be accessing the proposed network is gathering of requirements. The questions will help to
gather requirements as per level of the users that is needs of the guest users, management and staffs of
the sports complex. The feedback received from the questions can be used efficiently for developing the
proposed network solution. The questions will contribute towards developing a reliable and efficient
network solution so that the requirements of the sports complex as well as users can be fulfilled. The
results from the questionnaire will also help to determine issues that may be faced by the users while
accessing the network.

1.5 Validation and verification plan
Investigation of the limitations and the specialized objectives: It can be investigated by
conceptualizing and inquiring about on the ongoing innovation that can be connected for the
improvement of a system arrangement. The objectives and destinations of the association must be
dissected and the requirements following up on the undertaking such the objectives can't be
accomplished ought to be evacuated. Research ought to be done on the arrangement, strength and
diverse system topology that can be connected for the improvement of the system arrangement and
meet the ebb and flow situation of the business. The present load in the information activity ought to be
investigated and the enhance focuses that can be connected for expanding the consistency of the
system ought to be connected for the advancement of the system arrangement.
Readiness of a financial plan for the task: A rundown of the equipment and the system gadget
required for the improvement of the system arrangement must be recorded and an exceed expectations
sheet ought to be utilized for including the cost and estimation of the cost. The achievement of the
venture relies upon the exactness of the estimation of the task spending plan and every one of the
parameters must be assess nearly and he potential ought to be comprehend for application in the
undertaking. The spending data can likewise be utilized to help the system fashioner with the end goal
that it can meet the business prerequisite. In the event that the readied spending plan is inaccessible it
can cause shock if there should arise an occurrence of equipment disappointment or some other
requirement ascend amid the improvement of the system arrangement.
Formation of utilization profiles that would be identified with the attributes of the system and
its application: It is utilized for examination of the administration that should keep running in the system
and aides in guaranteeing the system bolster engineers for execution of general system benefit. The
application report can be used in various fields, for example, benefit bolster, investigating system issue,
design of the system server. It likewise helps in adjusting the objectives and destinations of the
association with the system arrangement.
Production of administration level understanding comprising of the points of interest, for
example, accessibility, reaction time, execution, adaptation to non-critical failure, upgradation limit, and
so on. There are diverse factor that can influence the execution of the system and it ought to be
actualized for meeting the goals of the undertaking. The system ought to be practical constantly and the
system downtime ought to be least.

Assurance of execution models and accessibility: It is vital for expanding the execution of the
system and dispose of the diverse system imperatives, for example, bundle lost, jitter, clog and
postponement in the system movement. The use of the administration gauges lessens the blunders in
the task and subsequently enhances the nature of the system arrangement. The execution of the system
can be recognized by examining the reaction time and discovering its effect on the client.
Gathering of measurements for observing the administration level definition: It is utilized for
accumulation of the administration level definition and checking the achievement of the undertaking.
The administration level is resolved for understanding the execution issues of the system arrangement
and the investigating the targets that ought to be meet by the system. It ought to be observed at a
consistent interim of time for finding the root issue related with the improvement of the system.

2.2 Performance analysis of the network
For analyzing the performance on each set of applications, a prototype of the provided network
has been designed with the help of Cisco Packet tracer application. The routers and PC’s being
presented in the network has been configured accordingly to provide actual feel of the system. The
testing of designed network has been done by checking transmission of packets within PC’s
implemented in the network. The time taken for travelling of packets from source to destination has
been also captured to determine performance of the network. The recorded time is compared to the
provided time for determining that the requirements are fulfilled. The option for real time analysis of
traffic has been used to auto generate packets and for finding the paths that will be used for inter-
communication between the nodes in network.
