Creating a new network in OPNET
Why we need a Network?
The first task in understanding how to build a computer network is defining what a network is and understanding how it is used to help a business meet its objectives. A network is a connected collection of devices and end systems, such as computers, Switch, Bridge, Router and servers that can communicate with each other.

One or more network servers is a part of nearly every local area network. These are very fast computers with a large amount of RAM and storage space, along with a one or more …show more content…
Category 4:- Used in token ring networks; can transmit data at speeds up to 16 MBPS.
5. Category 5:- Capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 100 MBPS.
6. Category 6:- consists of 4 pairs of 24-gauge copper wires, which can transmit data at speed of up to 1000 MBPS.
Characteristics of a Network
Many characteristics are commonly used to describe and compare various network designs. When you are determining how to build a network, each of these characteristics must be considered along with the applications that will be running on the network. The key to building the best network is to achieve a balance of these characteristics.
Networks can be described and compared according to network performance and structure, as follows:
• Speed: Speed is a measure of how fast data is transmitted over the network. A more precise term would be data rate.
• Cost: Cost indicates the general cost of components, installation, and maintenance of the network.
• Security: Security indicates how secure the network is, including the data that is transmitted over the network. The subject of security is important and constantly evolving. You should consider security whenever you take actions that affect the
