EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A competent network design is the foundation upon which all successful network
implementations are built. Nowadays, computer networks have become a critical
component of a successful business. Companies use networks to gather information from
different computers, which are designed to analyze different components of a business
such as revenue, loss and profit. A computer network is also essential for managerial
purposes, because in a company all the computers accessing information from a database
are connected to each other and the database through a network.
Long gone are the days when a network was created simply by connecting a set of
devices. Today, because of the increased dependence of businesses on computer
networks, network designing has become very complex. A network designer has to first
analyze the requirements of a client and then, keeping in view the probable traffic and
security risks, design the network in the most efficient manner. When the efficiency of a
network is increased, network design becomes complex. A computer network is utilized
by the employees of a company for communication as well as information gathering. A
network design must take into account the level of information accessible to each
employee and make theft of information impossible.
This network design proposal will be set for a cargo and courier business known
by the name of LBC Express. The main purpose of this proposal is to practically apply
the networking concepts and theories learned during class discussions into actual
networking scenarios. This includes both local area networking (LAN) and wide area
networking (WAN). It will include access controls, network infrastructure and network
policies in accordance to the requirements in line with the system specifications of the

organization. The current networking structure of LBC will be the basis in redesigning
their current network to better and more effectively support their daily transaction and
transmission of data.
