Chapter 1. Planning for Complex Networks
Network Design Models
Today’s networks typically include voice, video, network management, mission-critical, and routing traffic in addition to bulk user traffic. Each type of traffic has different performance (bandwidth, delay, and jitter) and security requirements. Network design models provide a framework for integrating the many different types of traffic into the network.
Over the years, several models have been used to help describe how a complex network functions. These models are useful for designing a network and for understanding traffic flow within a more complex network. This section covers three models: the traditional Hierarchical Model, the Enterprise Composite Model, ...
