BIM Network design and Management

 

Introduction to Network Design

It involves planning, implementing, managing, and maintaining the data communication infrastructure within an organization. A well-designed network enables efficient data exchange, resource sharing, and seamless communication among devices, applications, and users.

 Network Architecture Components

Network architecture encompasses the design and layout of a computer network. It defines how computers, devices, and components within a network are organized and how information flows between them.

 Network designers usually think about networks as seven distinct network architecture components when they design networks. Figure below shows a typical network for a large enterprise. This organization has three enterprise campuses in different cities that are connected by a WAN. Each campus has several buildings that are connected by a backbone network.

BIM The Internet

 

Internet

Internet is a global network that connects billions of computers across the world with each other and to the World Wide Web. It uses standard internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to connect billions of computer users worldwide. It is set up by using cables such as optical fibers and other wireless and networking technologies. At present, internet is the fastest mean of sending or exchanging information and data between computers across the world.

Origin of the Internet: In 1969, The Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) of American defense department created a network called ARPANET. Originally this network was a very because only three Universities and government agency were connected to it. The ARPANET was restricted only to the searches and the multiuser personals. In 1980's the ARPANET was administrated by National Scientific Foundation so called NSF Net.
