Features: Like all technical developments, when analyzing and designing network problems and requirements to formulate network solutions that meet specific business needs, certain processing standards must be followed. A good, standardized design process will not hinder the actual network construction work, nor will it increase the workload of the project, but will only bring more simplicity, efficiency, and satisfaction to the designer's work. If the design does not follow certain standards, a large number of problems will arise. This book is a tutorial on network analysis and design, with main contents including: fundamentals of network analysis and design, network analysis and design process, network requirement analysis, communication standards, logical network design, physical network design, network testing, network operation and maintenance, etc. In the chapter on fundamentals of network analysis and design, it mainly introduces the basic elements of networks, network interconnection devices, network performance concepts, and the content of network analysis and design documents. In the chapter on network analysis and design process, it mainly introduces network specifications, network life cycle, network development process, and constraints factors in network design. In the chapter on network requirement analysis, it mainly introduces the necessity of requirement analysis, the process of collecting requirements, and the content of requirement specifications. In the chapter on communication standards, it mainly introduces communication standard analysis, communication modes, communication boundaries, distribution of communication flows, steps of communication volume analysis, network standards, writing communication standards, and examples of requirement analysis and communication standard analysis. In the chapter on logical network design, it mainly introduces an overview of the logical design process, considerations for the physical layer, considerations for network interconnection, logical network diagrams, VLAN strategies, modern wide area network technologies, network management, TCP/IP address design, network security, writing logical design documents, and examples of logical network design. In the chapter on physical network design, it mainly introduces structured cabling systems, cables, physical network diagrams, wireless local area networks, writing physical network design documents, and examples of physical network design. In the chapter on network testing, operation and maintenance, it introduces network testing, fault localization, performance optimization, network monitoring, and network archiving. This book provides a detailed introduction to analyzing and designing networks, as well as testing, operation, and maintenance after network construction, from the perspective of network basic elements and interconnection devices. The content of this book is systematic and comprehensive, making it suitable as a university textbook for computer network courses, as well as a reference book for computer network engineering and technology personnel.
