1/10ECE544 Network Architecture Paper (due 3/26/10) Prof. RaychaudhuriThis assignment is intended as a practice exercise for high-level network architecture design based on top-down requirements analysis. Select one of the following “new” network design scenarios and write a ~7-10 page (12 pt, single-spaced, normal margins) architecture paper that explains how you would build a network for that application. This project is meant to be done during the first ~8 weeks of the course and may require some advance reading of the textbook or related research materials. Emphasis is on using network architecture principles in a reasonable (rather than optimum) way as a practicing engineer would. Creativity is encouraged and minor technical errors are acceptable as long as you demonstrate an understanding of the principles. [Note: the paper must be written clearly and concisely with correct language, organization and technical diagrams. Absolutely no copying of text or figures from Internet sources – use your own words and diagrams for the whole report. Papers that do not meet a minimum standard of readability will not be graded!] The paper should contain the following key items:1. Concept for the network (why is it needed, what are the services, who does it serve, why a new design approach is needed, usage scenarios, cost factors, etc.2. High-level concept diagram of proposed network (outlines topology, major technology components, service API, type of end-user terminals, etc.)3. Requirements table (list of key requirements such as services, QoS, mobility, security, reliability, cost, etc.)4. Network architecture diagram which shows all major components (terminals, network interfaces, Ethernets, satellites, routers, switches, etc.) and interfaces between them. Specify protocol stacks used at each node of the network including definition of inter-protocol gateways if any.5. A brief performance evaluation (using analysis or simulation) to determine system throughput vs offered traffic and major QoS measures if any. A rough calculation of cost (related to capacity = maximum throughput and $ invested in equipment) is also instructive.6. Conclusions and further work7.
