How to design a network architecture using capacity planning

TL;DR

This paper discusses designing network architectures that balance organizational needs with dependability and performance, emphasizing capacity planning to ensure scalability without performance degradation.

Contribution

It introduces a framework for integrating capacity planning into network architecture design to improve scalability and dependability.

Findings

Capacity planning is essential for scalable network design.

The proposed approach enhances network dependability and performance.

Scalability can be achieved without compromising existing network performance.

Abstract

Building a network architecture must answer to organization needs, but also to two major elements which are the need for dependability and performance. By performance, we must understand the ability to meet an immediate need and the ability to scale without reducing the performance of the whole as new elements are added to the network infrastructure. This last point is covered by Capacity Planning domain.
