  • CHAPTER 1

    This chapter analyzes various computer network architectures and identify an optimum one for specific need. It also build a logical and/or physical network based on specific requirements. It also give guidance to produce/reproduce the Request For Proposal (RFP) documentation based on business specification. Furthermore, it also Formulate problems and provide technical solutions to improve quality of service (QoS) to a network in terms of project. Lastly, it demonstrate ability to function effectively as an individual and in a group to produce RFP and finalize a specific project. The lesson outcome that the student will obtain is the familiarization about the needs and steps of top-down network design method and Analyzing business goals and constraints from business and network engineer's point of view.
