Design approaches
• Two typical methods– Traditional analytic design– Building block approach
• Both use a similar iterative approach

Design Stages - Agree requirements
• Engage end users• Translate requirements
– Business objectives –> technical specification
• Phasing the requirements– Right level of detail at each design stage
• Designing the requirements
![Page 10: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Design Stages - Designing the requirements
• Aim for completeness• Prioritise with a hierarchical system such as
• [M] - Mandatory• [H] – Highly desirable• [D] - Desirable• [N] - Note
![Page 11: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Design Stages - Assessing requirements
• Consider all aspects– E.g. support & maintenance, depreciation, commissioning
costs, project management fees, hardware & software upgrade costs, backup devices costs, consultancy charges – over the lifetime of the network
• Weighted matrix multipliers– M=100, H=10, D=1, N=0– Produce scores and rank suppliers
![Page 12: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Design Stages - Information gathering
• Need to find details of user behaviour, application use and location information for example:– User: location, numbers, services used, typical access– Sites: number, location, constraints on traffic (security, political or cost)– Servers and services: location, level of distribution– WAN/backbone predicted link traffic– Protocol support: bridged, routed or switched – Gateways needed?– Legacy support: equipment, protocols or services– Specific availability needs? 24-hour/backup links etc– Five-year plan – changes to population or business requirements– Budgetary constraints– Greenfield or existing site
• Information is refined and leads to a requirements database and capacity plan
![Page 13: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Design Stages - Site constraints• Greenfield or
– Greenfield sites have no legacy constraints but…– It is difficult to determine the real network loads and stresses– Needs more detail of application use and underlying protocols– Could use simulation to predict performance
• Existing site– Limited access– Access to live network could be restricted but…– Bottlenecks more obvious– Can use traffic/network analysis tools
![Page 14: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Design Stages - Planning
• Uses information on – Hosts, users, services, and their internetworking needs
• Iterative process of– Conceptual design– Analysis – Refinement
• Involving– Brainstorming, design reviews, modelling tools
• Leading to final draft design
![Page 15: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Design Stages - Design specification
• Detailed document of the design– Acts as a benchmark for design changes– Final design choices and changes need
justification and documenting– Should include change history to aid maintenance– Used for the implementation
![Page 16: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Design Stages - Implementation
• Needs a project plan to include– Phased introduction of new technology– Educating the users (what to expect)– Pilot installation (test for possible problems)– Acceptance testing (to prove performance meets
requirements)– Deployment (provide support on going live and
provide fallback position)

Media and bandwidth choices
![Page 20: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Capacity Planning - Outline
• Concerned with – User response times– Application behaviour and performance characteristics– Network utilisation
• Needed to– Minimise downtime– Maximise service to customers– Minimise costs of procurement and maintenance– Avoid unscheduled maintenance or re-design– Avoid costly upgrades and bad publicity
![Page 21: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Capacity Planning - Stages
• Form a discussion group (involve users etc.)• Quantify user behaviour• Quantify Application behaviour• Baseline existing network
– Traffic profiles• Make traffic projections• Summarize input data for design process• Assess other data (environmental, location
restrictions, deployment constraints etc)
![Page 22: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Capacity Planning – Step 1• Form a discussion group (involve users etc.)
– Needs wide representation– Users, network managers, application groups
• To elicit– What uses find acceptable and unacceptable– Map of services and details of user behaviour
• Quantify items using– User and service sizing data– Snapshots from data capture and network management tools– Traces of key services using protocol analysers– Pilot network implementation
![Page 23: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Capacity Planning – Step 2
• Quantify user behaviour– Need to know population and and location of
users– Summary of major user groups– Application use by user group– Site location data (country, grid ref., town,
postcode, telephone exchange)– Planned changes
![Page 24: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Capacity Planning – Step 3• Quantify Application behaviour
– Need to identify• Applications that could affect performance• Location and performance of servers and clients• Key constraints on performance (response times, buffer sizes etc
– And define• Application behaviour under fault conditions (lost data)• Addressing mechanisms( broad/multi/unicast) • Packet characteristics (frame sizes and direction)• Routable and non-routable services (IP, NETBIOS)
• Undefined applications allow choice of distribution balance

Capacity Planning – Step 4• Baseline existing network
– Baselining – a behavioural profile of the network obtained from• Packet traces, transaction rates, event logs and stats• Router ACLs(access control list ), firewall rulebases• Inventory of hardware and software revisions
– Traffic profiles -Capture data for a stable working network with details of
• bandwidth utilization by packet type and protocol • Packet/frame size distribution• Background error rates• Collision rates
– Various tools can be used• Network and protocol analysers, SNMP data, RMON probes, OS tools,
traceroute, ping etc

Capacity Planning – Step 5
• Make traffic projections using some, or all of:– Hand calculation – Commercial analytical tools to project network
utilisation– Simulation tools (most detail)
![Page 27: Search network equipments for network design](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/555236e5b4c905b00e8b4b6e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Capacity Planning – Step 6• Summarize input data for design process
– Budget– Database of sites, user populations,– List of key applications and their behaviour– Traffic matrix
• Need to consider– Static or dynamic bandwidth allocation– Max. Delay and Max. hops between sites– Resilience, Availability, degree of meshing– Design constraints and trade-off
• (e.g. delay v cost)

Summary• Good design
– Is an iterative process of continuous refinement– Is logical and consistent– Should deliver acceptable performance and cost
metrics (trade-off)– Is more than choosing the technology!
