Assessment - Network requirement analysis and plan
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping)
This assignment is designed to assess students' knowledge and skills related to the following learning outcomes:
b. Explain human factors in achieving business and technical goals through planning and design.
c. Investigate and develop an architectural internetworking design for the business and application domains.
Assignment Overview of Internetworking
A case study entitled "Chase Grammar School Accelerates Learning with BYOD" is uploaded with the assignment 1 folder, and the link for the case study is provided as an appendix. Based on the case study, Leo Li, Director for Administrator at the school, is highly concerned with the reliable, high- speed internet connection whether wired or wireless. He thinks that pupils are digital natives and they thrive in the multi-media environment. He further adds that one cannot underestimate the importance of rich and varied contents in the landscape that internet provides.
The case study focusses on the wireless solution and installation of additional wireless access points. As a result, the current throughput rate is recorded as 51 Mbps compared to a patchy 20 Mbps before. All seems good with the Chase Grammar School's network at the moment. However, there has not been any updates and upgrades on the existing wired infrastructure.
In addition to the wireless infrastructure, you as a network consultant strongly believe that the network experience of the end users at the school could have been further enhanced with the updating and upgrading of the current sluggish wired infrastructure. You tentatively figured out that with the proper upgrade of the wired network the throughput could go up to 90 - 100 Mbps.
Based on your understanding of the case study prepare a report on the proposed wired and wireless network design for Chase Grammar School. The report on the proposed design should have the following contents.
• Project scope
• Challenges
• User-centric design concept
• Project hardware requirements
• Network design in netsim
• Outcomes
• Limitations
• Conclusion
• Demonstration (snapshots of ping connectivity is preferable)
• IEEE referencing style
While designing the wired and the wireless network, please consider Chase Grammar School has six departments, namely, Admin, Academic, Human Resource (HR), Finance, IT support and Sports.
