Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

This discussion should move students from considering the basic terminology of networks and the early descriptions of geography and topology to a description of a network by the services it provides and the qualities that it maintains. Service descriptions may include the protocols that are present on the network. Another description of networks is the qualities they possess, such as availability and reliability. The most important information in describing any network depends upon the reason you are selecting or constructing a network, such as a guarantee of uptime. The discussion should guide students to understanding different ways to describe a network and qualities that a network possesses.
