Basic Network Design Methodology
Overview Designing a network is as complicated or as simple as the architect desires it to be. There are multiple methods for network design, ranging from "Get it Done!" to "The Equipment's Here!" to a planned and defined approach using established methods and models. There are schools of design for architecture (buildings), clothing, furniture, and interiors, but there is not an established school for telecommunications or network design. Electronic and electrical engineering programs generally include a class or sequence of classes in economics for engineers and, of course, basic efficiency design for performance. These two subjects seek to provide the engineer with an understanding of costs and market, but neither subject defines a structure for designing complex networks and systems. The telecommunications and network designer/architect is clearly competent in determining the best technical solution for a problem, but may miss the non-engineering applications and needs. This paper seeks to describe models for this design process that incorporates these intangibles as well as the technical solution.
