INTRODUCTION
Our Local Area Network is implemented using
the Ethernet standard 802.3 Technology with CSMA/CD Network
Media access protocol. Networks within each department or
building are often segmented into workgroups. A workgroup is a
logical grouping of networked computers by location, function,
or duties. The multiple network segments are then connected
via a switch to the domain server computers. A switch offers
excellent throughout hence a better network speed, devoid of
collision.
As required, any Server in the network may
double as a gateway to the Internet via a proxy based
dedicated link.
A sample of a network designed for one of
our clients is shown below. The LAN uses a wired link to
connect two segments in the domain. |

For small networks of ten computers or so,
simple Internet sharing may be implemented using a variety of
windows based proxy applications. To secure the network
against hackers in the Internet, simple but effective network
security is required.
