The desired Network Topology is given below:

Aggregation Network: In an Aggregation Network, multiple network connections are

combined together in parallel in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection
could sustain, and to provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail. It is also helpful
reduce the time of delivery because it does not check all the networks on the routing table. It
only send the data to router that represents very few small networks.
Ring Network: A ring network is a network in which the nodes (workstations or other devices)
are connected in a closed loop configuration. Adjacent pairs of nodes are directly connected
and other pairs of nodes are indirectly connected, the data passing through one or more
intermediate nodes. Packets of data travel from one device to the next until they reach their
destination. Most ring topologies allow packets to travel only in one direction, called a
unidirectional ring network. Others permit data to move in either direction, called bidirectional.

IP/MPLS Network: Multiprotocol Label Switching is a technique, not a service. It is a way to

insure reliable connections for real-time applications, but it's expensive, leading enterprises to
consider SD-WAN as a way to limit its use. It is a routing technique in telecommunications
networks that directs data from one node to the next based on short path labels rather than long
network addresses, thus avoiding complex lookups in a routing table and speeding traffic flows.
The labels identify virtual links (paths) between distant nodes rather than endpoints. MPLS
can encapsulate packets of various network protocols, hence the "multiprotocol" reference on
its name. MPLS is best summarized as a middleman protocol between Layer 2 and Layers 3 in
the OSI model. Some tech pundits call it “Layer 2.5 networking protocol”

Broadband Network: Broadband network is one of the important characteristic of an ideal

telecommunication network. Here a wide band of frequencies is available to transmit
information. So the information can be multiplexed and sent on many different frequencies or
channels within the band at the same time allowing more information to be transmitted in a
given amount of time. It is popular for its high speed.

DWDM: A dense wavelength division multiplexing network, or DWDM network, is a

technology for increasing the bandwidth of information sent over fiber optic cable. It was first
used by telecommunications companies to increase the capacity of their networks without
needing to run additional cable. WDM technology uses carrier signals sent at different
wavelengths, or different colors of laser light, to transmit multiple signals on a single fiber
cable, and to enable simultaneous bidirectional communication.

Redundant Network: A redundant network is one which has some extra capacity, in case
certain components fail. One can have more cable connections between switches or other
pieces of equipment than what is absolutely required for the basic working of the network. In
this case, if one connection fails, it is possible that data can still be sent over another connection.
If one has a single point of failure and it fails him, then he has nothing to rely on. If one puts
in a secondary (or tertiary) method of access, then when the main connection goes down, he
will have a way to connect to resources and keep the business operational.

Core Router: A core router is a router that forwards packets to computer hosts within a
network (but not between networks). A core router is sometimes contrasted with an edge router,
which routes packets between a self-contained network and other outside networks along a
network backbone. A device linking all network devices. It provides multiple fast data
communication interfaces. The word "core" refers to a network’s overall physical structure.

Router: A router is a computer networking device that forwards data packets between
computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. Data sent
through the internet, such as a web page or email. A packet is typically forwarded from one
router to another router through the networks that constitute an internetwork.

Distribution layer: It is a prerequisite part in network designing, to achieve the task of network
availability by 24×7 with scalability and security we have to consider distribution layer network
before designing the core layer network. Distribution layer is one of the most significant layer
among the three (core, access, distribution), as it aggregates the data received from access layer
network before transmitting to core layer.

Distribution router/ switch: We know that in data centers a three-layer hierarchical model
contains core layer, aggregation/distribution layer and access layer. In this network topology,
corresponding network switch is implemented in different network layer. A core switch is a
high-capacity backbone switch, which locates in the topside for WAN access and centralizing
multiple aggregations in the core. Thus backbone core layer switch is often a fiber switch for
advanced optical link. An access switch or an edge switch is for direct end devices and
hierarchy connection.

Client: A client is a computer that connects to and uses the resources of a remote computer, or
server. Many corporate networks comprise a client computer for each employee, each of which
connects to the corporate server. The server provides resources like files, information, Internet
and intranet access, and external processing power. In the case of processing, any work done
on the server is referred to as "server-side" work. Any work done on the local client is similarly
called "client-side."
