1.c Wired and Wireless LAN Bandwidth and Performance Requirements

Explain how your LAN/LANs perform with respect to tolerable delay, network load at various times, and cost. For example, applications that contain multimedia will require a higher bandwidth LAN to provide faster loading times for people accessing data. Your bandwidth and performance requirements should be consistent with the LAN functions identified in Section 1.a. Also, explain the load on your network during various times. Are there times when the network is likely to be busier? If so, what could be some of the choke points in your network, and how do you plan to manage these? You may provide very high bandwidth links and several redundant servers to manage load and performance, but remember all this will make it an expensive network. Do you think your business service really requires an expensive network? Feel free to make assumptions in order to justify your expense tolerance for the network.
