4 Key Goals of Network Design

Let's explore four goals of network design: stability, speed, scalability, and security. These goals are based on Ethan's experience designing, building, and operating networks. Network architects and design experts might have other objectives, and that's fine, but these four goals are the basis of today's episode. Ethan and Holly discuss why these four goals are important, how they relate, and constraints that affect your ability to achieve these goals.

Homework from Ethan this week regarding security: look up the topic of security hardening guide or router security hardening guide - each vendor will have one for the network devices they sell.
