DESIGN OBJECTIVE

Design a CSR network for a telecom service provides having a

DC at Hyderabad and covering MP. The network should reach
to important cities and up to all district places in the state.
Design a detailed network for Bhopal considering 10 customer
services centres in the city.

WAN( Wide Area Network)

Is a computer network that covers geographically disperse
areas i.e. a WAN network can be setup between-
Two cities
Between countries
Across continents
TYPES OF WAN SERVICES
WAN TECHNOLOGIES

Technology Typical Uses

Leased Line PPP networks, hub and spoke, back-ups

ISDN Remote-access to corporate networks,

voice, video, back-ups

Frame Relay Fast, efficient mesh between remote sites

WAN DESIGN REQUIREMENT
•WAN communication is often called a service because the
network provider often charges users for the WAN services
it provides.

•All technologies and features used in WANs are developed

to meet the following design requirements:
• Optimize WAN bandwidth.
• Minimize cost.
• Maximize the effective service to the end users.

•New WAN infrastructures must be:

• more complex.
• based on new technologies.
• able to handle an ever-increasing (and rapidly changing)
application mix with required and guaranteed service levels.
LAN/WAN INTEGRATION

LAN/WAN, previously logically separated, must now be fully

integrated for seamless performance
Both now must be able to handle...
• Voice traffic (VoIP)
• Bandwidth intensive multimedia applications

 Video conferencing

 On-line training

• Increased business critical data access

 WAN DESIGN STRATEGIES

• Mesh
 Network is flat
 All routers perform same function
 Expansion proceeds haphazardly

• Hierarchical
 Organized in layers
 Easier to implement/Troubleshooting
 Scalability
 Predictability
BENEFIT OF HIERARCHICAL DESIGN
 Scalability
– allows for future growth without sacrificing control or
functionality
 Ease of Implementation
– logically constructed layers specify the functions of each layer
 Ease of troubleshooting
– well-defined functions at each layer aid in the isolation of
problems
 Predictability
– behavior of functional layers can be estimated and planned for
 Protocol support
– allows easier implementation of future technologies because
the network has been logically constructed
 Manageability
– All the above aids in overall management of the network
