Each city has 11 branch locations which must be networked to a

12th backbone connected site.
The backbone sites need to be connected via inter-city links
which are arranged in a fully meshed backbone.
Each citys access network follows the same traffic pattern and
quality, reliability, service, innovation, price and flexibility must
be weighed evenly.
Two designs must be submitted one being the least cost and the
other being the best overall choice.

Local Access Network Designs (Intra-City)

Traffic Model for Each City (Using 24-48 traffic Generator Profile &
restricting the algorithms to only use D56 links)

Although the Tour design has a 9.3 percent higher reliability it costs 17.6
percent more than the CMST design. Both designs have less than a 50
percent maximum link utilization, which allows some flexibility for bandwidth
increases as well as minimizing delay. Additionally, the CMST design has a
lower average hop count which reduces network delay. All costs are based on
56K Leases Lines.

Conclusion Intra-City Design

For the local intra-city networks I recommend the CMST design.
It is both the cheapest and the least delayed network. The Tour
network is more reliable but not worth the significant jump in price.
(17 cities x $24,620.00) + (11 sites per city x $2000 per router) =
$440,540
Backbone Network Designs (Inter-City)

Fully meshed network between 17 cities

Leased Line Considerations

136 LLs @ 64Kbps = $27,200
248,264 miles = $248,264
136 LLs @ 128Kbps = $34,400
248,264 miles = $372,396

Frame Relay Design Consideration

Port Charges
13 cities x $1,925 1024Kbps Port + 4 intl cities x $7,700 + 17 x
$825 = $69,850 + $17,000 installation charge
CIR Charges
56/64kbps -> $112 x 136 PVCs = $15,232
