<div><p>Read this work sheet to learn basic networking considerations.</p>
<p>Use this work sheet as a supplement to your network planning
research. Each scenario includes similar tables with prerequisites and assumptions
made about the network environment. The following tables do not cover a complete
network design for every environment, but provide you a basis to start thinking
about your own environment. For example, before coming to these scenarios,
you need to plan for server availability, performance, capability, and more. </p>
