Abstract
The following paper will explain the differences between logical versus the physical design of a network and the purpose of having both a logical design and a physical design when implementing a WAN/LAN. It will also discuss ring and star topologies, describe how a network design begins, what is involved in the transition from logical to physical and when the network actually becomes functional. Examples will illustrate both a logical design and a physical design for a network. ... The workstation with the token then transmits and uses the entire bandwidth of whatever communications media the token ring network is using. ...
Ring networks
Ring topology is when the design of a Local Area Network in which the wiring loops from one workstation to another, forming a circle (thus the term “ring”). ... 753) Network control is distributed in a ring network. Since the message passes through each PC, the loss of one PC may disable the entire network. ... However, if the central node fails, the entire network fails. ...
When designing a network the most an obvious and intelligent thing to do is to map out where the workstations will be located. This is critical to the network design as both Ethernet and token-ring have strict limits on distances that may be traveled over certain types of cabling. Another consideration in the design of a network is the nature of their business.
