The discussion assignment for this week will be about the fundamental design of a network and the problems associated with requirements definition for networks. One of the most difficult challenges in any system development project is defining the requirements.

Conduct research using the library and Internet to find information about network requirements elicitation and analysis. Then, answer the following:

• What are some of the key factors to consider when gathering requirements for a network?


• What difficulties might you encounter in this process, and how might you mitigate the problems?


• Discuss some methods you might use to ensure thatthe requirements are acceptable before moving on to the design stage of the network implementation process.
