Problem
The network architecture overview: The company's headquarters are in Greenwich (UK). They have recently opened regional offices in New York (USA), and Dubai (Dubai). The main service provided by the New York and Dubai offices will be gathered and distributed monthly and annual reports describing sales managed by the headquarters in Greenwich, UK. The company has decided to perform a simulation in case they will expand with an additional call centre. Greenwich HQ LAN: The network is undefined and needs to be designed by the student with justifications, this implies justification of several nodes, users, and applications. New York office LAN: It consists of 35 users connected to a core switch, Local printer, and email. They are connected to the Internet via a backbone link. Some applications run by users including printers and databases are local and others like web browsing and MS OneDrive are supported including remote desktops, in Greenwich, UK. Additionally, 8 users work from home using MS Teams & Zoom with all supported services. Dubai Office LAN: It consists of 25 users connected to a core switch, Local printer, and email. They are connected to the Internet via a backbone link. Some applications run by users including printers and databases are local and others like web browsing and MS OneDrive are supported remotely, in Greenwich, UK. Additionally, 8 users work from home using MS teams & Zoom for voice and video calls. Network Operations Centre (NOC): It would consist of 15 users connected to a core switch, Local printer, and email. They are connected to the Internet via a backbone link. Some applications run by users including printers and databases are local and others like web browsing and MS OneDrive are supported remotely, in Greenwich, UK. All users run MS Teams & Zoom conferencing applications with Dubai Office.
Design, implement and simulate your model in the NETSIM simulator guided by the given network architecture overview. The design requires detailed documentation on the application and performance settings in the NETSIM simulator for each user and these settings justifications. Following the implementation, you are required to simulate your scenario.
