7. Issues for this Seminar Unit 8 Chapter 10 Network Design Unit 9 Visit the following links and review technologies such as LANE, MPOA, NHRP, NBMA, and MPLS

8. Unit 8 Network Design –There is a tendency for engineers to jump to a technical solution without the discipline of analysis and architecture

9. Unit 8 Problems –Add hardware capriciously (growth unplanned) –Lack of documentation –Poor understanding of business demand –Poor understanding of performance issues (peak demand, changes over time, distribution and types of packets) –Lack of monitoring –Reactive response –Poor understanding of options and tradeoffs

10. Process Building analogy (page 389) Design Deliverables –Network blueprints –A component plan –Vendor, vendor equipment, and service-provider selections –Traceability (design decisions, architecture decisions, requirements, and problem statements) –Metrics for measuring design success!!! –Tools and monitoring plan –Security plan

11. Design Process - Architecture products Selected topology Selected technologies Equipment types/classes Supporting material (e.g., traceability diagrams) Architectural relationships Routing and addressing Security Network management Performance Others (as needed) All of these architecture products can be combined into the reference architecture for the project.

14. Unit 9 Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) – is a standard switching technique designed to unify telecommunication and computer networks. It uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing,[1][2] and it encodes data into small, fixed-sized cells. This differs from approaches such as the Internet Protocol or Ethernet that use variable sized packets or frames LANE – LAN Emulation – –LANE is an ATM service defined by the ATM Forum specification LAN Emulation over ATM, ATM_FORUM 94-0035. This service emulates the following LAN-specific characteristics: Connectionless services Multicast services LAN media access control (MAC) driver services –LANE service provides connectivity between ATM-attached devices and connectivity with LAN-attached devices. This includes connectivity between ATM-attached stations and LAN-attached stations and also connectivity between LAN-attached stations across an ATM network.

15. Unit 9 NBMA - Non-broadcast multiple-access network –A non-broadcast multiple access network (NBMA) is a computer network to which multiple hosts are attached, but data is transmitted only directly from one computer to another single host over a virtual circuit or across a switched fabric. NBMA networks do not support multicast or broadcast traffic.

16. Unit 9 MPOA – Multiprotocol over ATM – –MPOA enables the fast routing of internetwork-layer packets across a nonbroadcast multi-access (NBMA) network. MPOA replaces multi-hop routing with point-to-point routing using a direct virtual channel connection (VCC) between ingress and egress edge devices or hosts. An ingress edge device or host is defined as the point at which an inbound flow enters the MPOA system; an egress edge device or host is defined as the point at which an outbound flow exits the MPOA system.

17. Unit 9 NHRP – Next Hop Resolution Protocol – –Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) is sometimes used to improve the efficiency of routing computer network traffic over Non-Broadcast, Multiple Access (NBMA) Networks MPLS - Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) – –Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a mechanism in high- performance telecommunications networks that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table. The labels identify virtual links (paths) between distant nodes rather than endpoints.
