 Connect a remote employee to the network of his


company

 Use existing public networks


 Example: Internet

 Encrypted connections
 Use the same policies of safety as the corporate
network

VPN network
Types of network

Internet

 A network of networks

 The Internet is created by the interconnection of networks


belonging to Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

 These ISP networks connect to each other to provide


access for millions of users all over the world.

Network architecture
Network architecture

Preview
These are the chapters that we will approach :

 Fault tolerance
 Load balancing
 Scalability
 QoS
 Security
Network architecture

Fault tolerance
 Limit the impact of a hardware or software failure and
recover quickly when such a failure occurs.

Internet
Network architecture

Load balancing

 Spread work between two or more computers to get


optimal resource utilization, throughput, or response.

 The balancing service is usually provided by a dedicated


program or hardware device.
Network architecture

Scalability
 A scalable network can expand quickly to support new
users and applications without impacting the performance
of the service being delivered to existing users.
Internet
Network architecture

Quality of Service

 Provide different priority to different user or data flows

 Examples of priority decisions :


 Time-sensitive communication
 Non time-sensitive communication
 High importance to organization
 Undesirable communication
Network architecture

Security

 Security measures taken in a network should:

 Prevent unauthorized disclosure or theft of information


 Prevent unauthorized modification of information
 Prevent Denial of Service
Network architecture

Security

 Means to achieve these :


 Confidentiality
 Integrity
 Availability
