INTRODUCTIONNetworking is considered as the designing and implementation of a network whichincludes involving all the basic and physical requirements such as cables, hardware, software,switches etc. (Nunes, Mendonca and Turletti, 2014). There are various types and topologies ofnetwork that can be implemented for sys-go.co.uk for an efficient development andimplementation of the network. The report is about developing and implementing a newnetwork infrastructure in a client company, that is sys-go.co.uk by keeping scalability andavailability in mind. Also, it includes different types of network and topologies along with theirbenefits and drawbacks. Interdependence and operating principles along with the testing factorshave also been included in the report. LO 1P1 Benefits and constraints of different network types and standardsThere are various different types of network and some of well known and commonexamples include local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), metropolitan areanetwork (MAN) etc. These networks have been very widely used in different areas but the factthat is to be ensured here is that as there are some advantages of using these networks, there aresome constraints as well. Similarly, network standards are considered as some specifiedspecifications that are associated with the essential methods, operations, cabling etc. that is beingused in the network in order to maintain a sort of balance within different media's over thenetwork. The same way, network standards are also known for having some positive factors aswell as some negative. Discussing the benefits and constraints of both as under :Network typesLocal area network (LAN)A LAN or Local Area Network is define as the network that helps in the interconnectionof devices in a local area .A local area network is considered as a network in which systems andother devices in smaller areas. The involved area may be small as of a building or the nearby, bitit covers the range within a smaller span of area. LAN has a master server from which all othersystem are connected and access data within a confined area(Luo and Rosas-Casals, 2015).1
(Source:https://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/definition/local-area-network-LAN)BenefitsThe implementation of a LAN is cost effective.As it covers a small span of area, the managing and controlling of the network iscomparatively easy as compared with the others.There are several other benefits such as it works on centralised system where all devicesare connected to a main hub. Transferring of files occur very fast and there is a greatconnectivity between every nodes that serves faster access of information.ConstraintsAlthough it is manageable, but it covers a small area only. It only has a narrow scope as itworks in a limited area only.Special security features are required in order to control the access from any externalbody. Apart from this, if there is a defect in single device then performance of whole system isaffected.2
