1.4.5 Model for Network Analysis, Architecture, and Design
Network analysis, architecture, and design are similar to other engineering processes in that they address the following areas:
o Defining the problems to be addressed
o Establishing and managing customer expectations
o Monitoring the existing network, system, and its environment
o Analyzing data
o Developing a set of options to solve problems
o Evaluating and optimizing options based on various trade-offs
o Selecting one or more options
o Planning the implementationNetwork analysis also defines, determines, and describes relationships among users, applications, devices, and networks .Network design provides physical detail to the architecture .??????????
