Write a ten to fifteen (10-15) page paper in which you complete the following three (3) Parts. Note: Please use the following page breakdown to complete your assignment:
Overall network diagram: One (1) page
Datapath diagrams: Three (3) pages (one for each diagram)
Write-up: six to ten (6-10) pages
Part 1: Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a diagram showing the overall network you've designed from the user or endpoint device to the Internet cloud, and everything in between, in which you:
Follow the access, core, distribution layer model.
Include at a minimum:
Authentication server (i.e. Microsoft Active Directory)
Routers
Switches (and / or hubs)
Local users
Remote users
Workstations
Files share (i.e. CIFS)
Mail server
Web servers (both internal and external)
Firewalls
Internet cloud
Web proxy
Email proxy
FTP server (for internal-to-external transport)
Explain each network device's function and your specific configuration of each networking device.
Design and label the bandwidth availability or capacity for each wired connection.
Part 2: Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a Datapath Diagram for the following scenario:
Local user sends email to a Yahoo recipient.
Document and label the diagram showing protocols and path of the data flow as data traverses through your network from source to destination.
Include path lines with arrows showing directions and layer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (OSI) protocols that are used for each flow.
Show user authentication when necessary.

Explain how your overall design protects the organization from both inside and outside attacks. Give examples.
Explain how your layered design compensates for possible device failures or breaches in network security.
Determine whether any possible bottlenecks exist in your design.
Explain how to make the file transfer process more secure.
Part 3: Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
