Networks Assignment

Overview: Network architecture refers to the layout of the network, consisting of the hardware, software, connectivity, communication protocols, and mode of transmission such as wired or wireless. For the second milestone, you will provide a high-level overview of the SNHUEnergy Inc. network architecture. You will evaluate traffic patterns to determine critical aspects of your business and provide basic insight into what should be done to the network from a capability aspect as well as a security viewpoint. Finally, you will develop a visual representation of an end-to-end path flow of the existing network by creating a Visio diagram showing the output of the traffic flows.

Prompt: In this section, you will analyze the information provided on SNHUEnergy Inc. in the Final Project Scenariodocument to provide a high-level assumption for the design of the network.

To complete this assignment, you must address the following critical elements:

• Based on what you know from the scenario, explain the types of physical network devices used in connecting all devices across the organization.

• Identify the critical traffic patterns currently used by the organization, supported by examples. Use the Traffic Flow Wireshark Capturedocument to guide your response.

o Service (Voice over Internet Protocol [VoIP])
o Application (Structured Query Language [SQL])
o Network management
o Other opportunities not specified above

• Describe the traffic patterns that the organization's critical applications take across the infrastructure from office to office. Remember, the organization's critical applications were specified in the scenario.

• Describe the potential performance issues that may occur within the current network if no changes are made to support the organization's expansion. Provide examples to support your response.

• Describe the potential security issues that may occur within the current network if no changes are made to support the organization's expansion. Provide examples to support your response.

• Develop a visual representation of an end-to-end path flow of the existing network by creating a Visio diagram showing the output of the traffic flows. Use the provided Logical Network Design Examplefile as a guide for creating your diagram, and include your diagram with your submission.
