Network Proposal for Worldwide Insurance
Worldwide Insurance is a regional insurance company with three offices located in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York and two international offices. Each U.S. office has approximately 25 computer users; the international offices have 5 users each. Learning Team E will provide a proposal for the design and implementation of an international network to connect the company’s three U.S. offices and two international offices.
A network’s basic design plays an integral part in its operation and performance. The topology of the network dictates the media used, the type of channel access, and the speed at which the network operates (University of Phoenix, 2004, Chap. 2, p. 48).
The Open System Interconnection (OSI) protocol suite is comprised of numerous standard protocols that are based on the OSI reference model. These protocols are part of an international program to develop data-networking protocols and other standards that facilitate multivendor equipment interoperability. The OSI will connect all offices and support the business needs of Worldwide Insurance. The OSI protocol suite supports numerous standard media-access protocols at the physical and data link layers. The wide variety of media-access protocols supported in the OSI protocol suite allows other protocol suites to exist easily alongside OSI on the same network media. The OSI protocol suite specifies two routing protocols at the network layer: End System-to-Intermediate System (ES-IS) and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS). In addition, the OSI suite implements two types of network services: connectionless service and connection-oriented service.
