Course Description
This unit covers various issues involved in designing a network. Its salient features are designing a network, evaluate network traffic and finalise network design. In the light of user requirements, a physical network diagram is developed as a blueprint. Based on the number of terminals, protocols and network architecture, network traffic is estimated. The emerging traffic scenario ultimately leads to developing a performance profile of a given network design. A final network design takes shape from benchmarks and requirement reviews. This competency also covers various other pertinent aspects of network design. These aspects cover areas such as obtaining latest technical specifications and pricing from vendors, conducting support, and training.
This course is co-delivered with Install & Manage Complex Networks, Troubleshoot and Resolve Network Problems, Build Internet Infrastructure and Administer Network Peripherals competencies.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including technical requirements documentation, homework and in class exercises, written tests, practical problem solving exercises and practical tests. Students are advised that they maybe be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher to ensure that the relevant competency standards are being met.
As this course is based on a networking project there will be an assessment by the teacher and the group individuals of the group working as a team and the role played by the individual members
Final examination optional for RMIT grading purposes only
