Just a description/diagram of an organisation's network(s), with the details of IP ranges, sub-nets and masks, the ISP connections and server/router infrastructure and the building/rack locations where the kit is installed.0

Hi Sara,
In computing, network architecture is the design of a computer network.
Computer networking is the scientific and engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems. Such networks involves at least two computers, which can be separated by a few centimeters (e.g. via Bluetooth) or thousands of kilometers (e.g. via the Internet). Computer networking is sometimes considered a sub-discipline of telecommunications.
In telecommunication, the term network architecture has the following meanings:
1. The design principles, physical configuration, functional organization, operational procedures, and data formats used as the bases for the design, construction, modification, and operation of a communications network.
2. The structure of an existing communications network, including the physical configuration, facilities, operational structure, operational procedures, and the data formats in use.
How's that for geeky?:rotfl:0 -
