Network Architecture and Design takes readers through every phase of a new project from client meetings, site surveys, data collection and interpretation, documentation to actually designing and implementing the network according to spec. The discussion includes:

• An overview of LAN and WAN topologies
• Coverage of NOS (Novell Operating System)
• Integration of the client operating system (this 50% of network architecture is often overlooked in similar titles)
• Protocols
• Connectivity Devices
• Implementing Remote Access
• Security
• Internet connectivity
• Network Monitoring

In addition, the author has prepared a sample of client documentation, a glossary of terms and a trouble shooting quick reference guide.
