Abstract
This chapter discusses the technical aspects of implementing a project. In specific, it describes the topologies, scalable solutions down to the component level. The chapter further presents terms and concepts, and hardware options for the projects. It is noted that in most enterprises, the network is implemented during different budgeting periods, different stages of technical expertise, and varying levels of technological maturity. Topology refers to the type of cabling in the physical computer network. It also describes the logical layout of the network and how data is passed through it. Topology essentially includes variety of configurations such as mesh, star, bus, ring, hybrid, and wireless. The hybrid topology is a combination of all the topologies acting together. It is the most common implementation and also has the highest support costs associated with it, as there are several different factors to manage, including technical and asset management. Protocols are a set of agreements among network entities. They are conceptually the same as language is to groups of people.
