DATA COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKS
Executive Summary
An evaluation is done on the requirement of usoft.com (a private biomedical company) for
the development of the report. A research is done on the current framework of the
organization and the number of user in each of the department for the development of the IP
addressing plan and configuring the network device following the IP address. The link that
should be used for connecting the different branches with the headquarter should be
identified and the technology that should be applied for the development of the network
framework should be selected such that it improves the performance and flexibility of the
network framework. Some extra number of address spaces are kept in reserve for each of the
department such that developed network would have support for the future growth of the
organization. The security issues that can arise for the development of the network should be
identified and proper security measures should be applied such that the organizational
information are kept secured.

DATA COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKS
Introduction
Usoft.com is a private biomedical company that have a headquarter and two branches
spreading in the goad coast region. An analysis is made on the current local area network
topology of the organization for the identification of the modification that should be done in
the topology for meeting the future requirement of the organization. The business goals of
usoft.com is evaluated for the identification of the changes that should be made in the current
design. Th technical goals of the organization is evaluated for identification of the future
requirement and the other features that are needed by the employees of usoft for increasing
their workplace performance. The security needs, flexibility and availability of the network
should also be identified for the selection of the topology and securing the network
framework from the external agents and improve the flexibility and availability of the
network.
Some assumptions are made for the development of the network framework and the
current structure of the headquarter of the company is evaluated for the preparation of the IP
address scheme. For each of the department of the headquarter separate three separate vlan
are created for reducing the congestion in the network and increase the response time. The
servers, IP phones and the computers are kept in different subnet such that the servers are
kept secured such that a centralized control is managed on the network. A physical and a
logical network diagram is prepared following the requirement and building floor plan such
that it can be used by the network development team for development of the network without
any error.
Requirement Analysis and Specification
For the analysis of requirement of usoft.com an analysis is made on the number of
users and the number of departments of the organization. The building floor plan is evaluated
