Java Python CNCO3001 – ASSIGNMENTS

Two-Stage Project Assignment:

Network Analysis and Architecture Design for a Real-World Networking System

Stage 1: Project Proposal and Requirements Analysis (Assignment 01, Due Week 5)

Objective:

•     To conduct a comprehensive requirements analysis for a real-world networking system (e.g., a university campus network).

Deliverable:

Project Proposal:

o  Introduction: Brief description of the chosen networking system.

o  Objectives: Clear objectives of the network design project.

o  Scope: Define the project's scope, including constraints and assumptions.

Requirements Analysis Report:

o  Requirements Specifications:

     Detailed description of each requirement, including user, applications, devices, and network aspects.

     Importance, source and location for each requirement.

o  Requirements Map:

     A complete requirements map, describing location dependencies of application requirements and other requirements.

     Visualization of how requirements are mapped across different locations and their dependencies.

o  Traffic Flow Specifications:

     Detailed specifications of expected traffic flows within the network.

     Analysis of traffic patterns, volume, and critical paths.

o  Assumptions and Constraints:

     List any assumptions made during the requirements analysis.

     Constraints that may affect t CNCO3001 – ASSIGNMENTSC/C++ he project.

Stage 2: Logical Network Architecture Design (Assignment 02, Due Week 13)

Objective:

•     To develop a logical network architecture based on the requirements analysis conducted in Stage 1.

Deliverable:

o  Logical Network Diagram: A detailed diagram illustrating the logical layout of the network, including subnets, VLANs, and key network devices.

o  Network Addressing Architecture

o  Network Routing Architecture

o  Network Design Rationale: Explanation of design choices, including topology, addressing scheme, and routing protocols.

o  Network Services Design: Design and description of essential network services such as DNS, DHCP, and authentication mechanisms.

o  Network Performance Architecture: Scalability and Performance Considerations, Strategies for ensuring the network can scale and perform. under expected load conditions.

o  Network Management Architecture

o  Security Architecture: Logical security measures, including firewalls, access control policies, and encryption strategies.

o  Redundancy and Fault Tolerance: Design features that ensure network availability and reliability.

Additional details about Assignment 2 and its template will be released in Week 5
