Network Architecture

Network ArchitectureNetworks must support a wide range of applications and services, as well as operate over many different types of cables and devices, which make up the physical infrastructure. The term network architecture, in this context, refers to the technologies that support the infrastructure and the programmed services and rules, or protocols, that move data across the network.As networks evolve, there are four basic characteristics that the underlying architectures need to address in order to meet user expectations:Fault ToleranceScalabilityQuality of Service (QoS)Security Provide your own explanation (in the terms of network architecture)A. Fault ToleranceB. ScalabilityC. Quality of Service (QoS)D. Security Sort the statements into the appropriate column to identify the network architecture requirement to which each characteristic or feature belongs. Fault Tolerance Network should always be available Scalability Networks can grow or expand with minimal impact on performance. QoS Common network standards allow hardware and software vendors to focus on product improvements and and services. Security Business and personal networks must be protected. New TrendsAs new technologies and end user devices come to market, businesses and consumers must continue to adjust to this ever-changing environment. The role of the network is transforming to enable the connections between people, devices, and information. There are several new networking trends that will affect organizations and consumers. Some of the top trends include:Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)Online collaborationVideo communicationsCloud computing Explore and explain the new trends in network architecture:A.
