INTERNETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES
Project Scope
The network design is provided for implementing network design for HiTech
Telecommunications Company. The project identifies the following scope for the
project:
 To incorporate growth of the organization into design of the network and
adhering to organizational structure for providing optimum design for the
implementation of the proposed network solution
 Divide IP address into smaller module to enhance the traffic capacity of
the network and reliability of the network during high traffic flow over the
network
 to ensure that network bandwidth is not wasted while ensuring optimum
performance of the network
 to design the proposed network in such a way that network uptime is high
even during high network traffic
 to ensure proper management of the redundant links of the network to
provide facility for sending and receiving data with higher accuracy along
with proper data transfer speed
 to ensure that security of the network is proper through integration of
proper security measures with the network design
Project requirements
Functional Requirement
● Performance improvement through minimization of network jitters, data
packet loss and allocate network bandwidth accordingly
● Improving traffic management of the network
● Division of data packets and transfer data through allocation of various
available communication channels so that maximum bandwidth is
allocated during data transfer for making the data transfer faster and
reliable

● Configure network in such a fashion so that new IP address is possible to
allocate to the existing network design
● Create IP address plan and configure network in accordance with the IP
plan
Non Functional Requirement
● To design and implement an in-depth survey involving employees and
authorities of the company for gathering requirements for the network
design
● Prepare a feasibility study to review compatibility of the proposed network
design and identify any issues before the design is implemented
● Prepare a comprehensive hardware requirements for the network design
and also prepare an initial budget for the network design
● Prepare a detailed plan to install network devices and associated network
equipment for implanting the design for the organization
● Identification of network topology with reference to organizational
structure and design requirements
Network Design strategy
In order to design the network properly, various things such as required services,
usability aspect of the network, characteristics of the network design and
environment for deploying the network and network process need to review for
designing the network. This will ensure that the design of the network is
consistent with organizational requirements. In order to ensure that the network
design is error free, testing of the network has to be done throughout the
implementation of the network. It will help in identifying any issue that might
affect the performance of the network. Hence testing process of network for
identification of issues and resolve it is an important strategy for this network
design. It is not enough to ensure that the network performs better, security of
the network is something that requires detailed assessment hence it is important
to review various network design methods and then chose the appropriate
solution that is consistent with the security applications of the network. The
designed network should not only met the design requirements and user

requirements, it should enhance the process too by offering enhanced user
experience. In order to do this, survey with the users of the network is
conducted. The application of HiTech Telecommunications is such that it requires
to support high speed data transfer and for this network uptime should be
optimum for most of the time, especially when network traffic is high and during
this time, the network should be stable and reliable as well as stability of
network is important for the business of the company. Hence proper bandwidth
distribution is required in this context. When traffic over the network is low the
network should preserve most of the available network bandwidth and this
should be deployed during the high traffic network so that communication is not
affected. In order to secure the network devices and ensure security of the data
stored in the sever of the network, access control needs to be integrated with
the network sever so that it is difficult to access those data without proper
authorization which has been a significant issue for the company. This access
control which offers better authorization and security control will be
implemented for each network device and sever for offering enhanced security
of the network according to the requirements of the organization. This strategy
that is developed for designing the network will be implemented for designing
and deploying the proposed network solution will be followed in this context.
