Network Designs Across Businesses

Students will write a research paper in APA style of between 2000 and 2750 words (8 to 10 pages)
discussing network design across businesses. The paper will compare network designs and
describe which network topologies work best for which types of businesses. That is, students will
indicate what is best for a small, medium, or large business in terms of volume of users on the
networks and the most effective flow of data. A university, for example, would use a different
network than a pizza shop. Students should be sure to consider different considerations for the
public and the private sector as well.
