ITEC 3210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Network Layer, Lan Switching, Level Of Measurement
Document Summary
Note: in text book : p. 215, errors in text: fig 8-5 and 8-8 in p227 ( availability and reliability ), nominal data rates: choices must be justified p 227, compatibility addresses. Vlan switches are not covered in details, best practice is bbn network, which is slightly different from the text( layer 3 switch vs vlan functionality, slide 11 12 13. Fixing the textbook: meantime between failures should be high as possible, meantime to recover should be low as possible, i think, nominal data rates: doing analysis and coming with requirement or just going according to the budget. There is huge different in price between 10 gb and 1. Gb, need to understand how to select data rates, 10 gb can be required, and this is justified by requirement analysis: different type of backbone will be defined by the network equipment being used, such as.
