Act 4. Caso de Estudio

Green Inc. is expanding and needs to connect a new floor to their network. Their current network design lacks hierarchy and will not scale well. The new design proposed by the assistant is based on a hierarchical model to address performance, scalability, and redundancy issues. Specifically, the hierarchical design will consolidate functions into three levels to improve performance by reducing traffic bottlenecks, allow for easier scalability by distributing load across network devices, and provide redundancy to prevent single points of failure from disrupting the entire network.

Act 4.

Caso de Estudio
Case Study - 4 1
Objectives: Describe hierarchical network design Consolidate the function of the three levels Intro:
Green Inc. is expanding and just got another floor on the building they have their main office. The newfloor
will also need to be connected to Greens network and, because no hierarchy layers were used on the first
network design they called you for help. The Scenario: As shown on the topology above, no hierarchy
design was used. Foreseeing Greens growth, you decided to design an entirely new network based on
the hierarchical model in order to deliver performance, scalability and redundancy.
Problem 1 Performance.
Within Green Inc. Network, network 1 users need to frequently access a database stored in Server 1.
Network 2 users also frequently access a database stored in Server 2. You take a look on the topology
handed to you (shown above) and, notice a few performance problems that could be easily solved by a
better design. On the topology above, link A is saturated because of traffic from network 1 to server 1and
to the Internet. Link B is also saturated because of traffic from network 2 to server 2 and to the Internet.
Link C is heavily used because of traffic from network 1 and 2 to the servers and Link D is shared by all
users and devices for traffic sent to the internet.
Problem 2 Scalability.
Greens network doesnt scale easily at the moment. R1 router has no interfaces left and the S1 and S2
switches have all their ports taken. If a new network or department becomes necessary, the current
topology wont accept it easily.
Problem 3 Redundancy. Greens has no backup links or equipment right now. If any of their links or
devices fail, traffic forwarding disruption will occur. Some failures will cause bigger disruptions (a R1 router
failure would stop the entire network) other will cause smaller disruptions (a Link A failure would stop
network 1 operations) but traffic disruption would happen regardless. After analyzing Greens network
problems, you present a new design created to address Greens network main problems. Your new
designed is based on The Hierarchical Model .
