DATA COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKS
Executive Summary
The report is prepared for uSoft.com for the development of a network solution for private
biomedical software development company. An analysis is made on the current network
topology for the identification of flaws and develop a new network solution for the
organization. The current network of the organization is needed to be expanded and the
network of the headquarter is needed to be redeveloped for the achievement of the new
business and technical goals of the organization. The scalability of the organization is needed
to be identified and the expansion the company is needed to be planned for the improvement
of the network performance, security and flexibility of the organization. The report is
prepared by creating a logical and physical design of the network and creating an network IP
addressing plan for configuration of the network device according to it.

DATA COMMUNICATION AND NETWORKS
Introduction
For the development of the network for the private biomedical company a research is
needed to be done on the requirement of the organization and the structure of the organization
is needed to be evaluated for the management of the network framework. A suitable network
topology is selected for the development of the network and meeting the needs of the
organization. The network is developed for the improvement of communication between the
user and allowing them to connect their wireless device with the network. The security
measures that can be implemented while designing the network is also evaluated for
protecting the information of the company. The network is made scalable such that it can
support the future growth of the organization. The routers are needed to be configured with
VPN service for allowing the remote users and the branches to communicate with the
headquarter securely. An physical and logical network topology is created for the network
following the building floor plan for the identification of the number of network device
needed for the development of the network.
Requirement Engineering
The user requirement is analysed for the development of the local area network of the
company’s headquarter. For conducting the requirement engineering the number of users of
the current network is needed to be identified and their expectation about the redesigned
network should be evaluated for the development of the new network solution. The
requirement analysis is important for determination of the expectation of the user and
resolution of the conflict between the network development team and the users. The network
is needed to be available to the user all the time such that it can meet the needs of the users
and the user should also be able to connect their wireless device with the network for
accessing the resources (Cunha et al., 2016). Proper security measures should be taken for the
