Main criteria which should be met by a local area network design:
A local area network refers to a transmission process involving computer terminals and
peripherals which are physically linked within a room(s) in a building or one site.
A local area network design should meet the following criteria:
1. It should enhance the sharing of experience resources. For example, management at
various levels should be able to share information and as such, design making should be
fast and effective. It should also allow program sharing.
2. It should help in faster data processing and retrieval. This means that the design should
facilitate faster access to data from the file servers so as to help in the faster transaction
processing.
3. The network should also help in reducing data processing costs. Costs may be saved due
to minimised job queue.
4. It should allow sharing of work loads in that the various terminals can be used to process
data and transmit it through the network to the required terminal.
5. It should help in decentralisation of data processing activities. Activities can be easily
performed in the terminals and transmitted through the network to the head office or to
the main data office.
6. The network should enable the communication of one system to another so as to detect
multi-accessing and curtail unauthorised access
