Abstract

Performance of a network is influenced by the user satisfaction which is related to network services provided. Fault tolerance, scalability, Quality of Service (QoS), and security are four basic characteristics that need to be addressed in term of network architectures to meet user satisfaction. Divers of engineering and architectural aspects should be leveraged in modern converged enterprise campus networks from the design standpoint. In this project, existing network architecture of the political sciences college at the University of Kufa is identified and analyzed from any issues that could affect user satisfaction. The final phase is to propose a new network design that meet user satisfaction without high costs. To achieve the proposed design and network criteria, packet tracer software is used to design and test the new network architecture.
