Description
A network diagram provides a visual map of the IT operations for an organization. Not only does it display the current infrastructure, but the diagram also shows the connectivity for the entire infrastructure. Now that you’ve analyzed the current standards and protocols, it’s time to analyze the infrastructure and make updates to the diagrams.
Review the existing International Plastics network diagrams:
- Update each of the four location diagrams with recommendations for IT infrastructure improvements using Microsoft® Visio® or Word.
- Explain the choices made for each diagram.
- Summarize the risks to the current network.
- Provide recommendations for mitigating risks.
use APA style for citations if needed

The network diagram for International Plastics Inc. is a hexagon of six nodes and seven
links. The four nodes on the outside, or the "regional headquarters", are in other countries and
connect to the three nodes in Chicago through seven different links: four airways, three sea ways,
and one railway. All of these routes are direct flights between cities with no layovers on
connecting flights to any regional headquarters except for Manila which connects with Brisbane
by airway only. The node in Manila connects directly to Brisbane through an airway link only
since there is no sea way or railway route between those two cities (the Philippines are an
archipelago).
Network diagrams represent a physical or logical view of the network with nodes and
lines for the connections between them. Network diagrams are typically drawn as a node, line,
and arrow that is often referred to as an arrowhead. The shape of the node can be a square, circle,
triangle or diamond depending on what room it occupies in the diagram. Lines can be straight or
curved and then end at a circular node (terminating). A star shaped node describes where
messages from one host goes through another host before arriving to its destination. It can also
mean traffic packets transferred from one switch to another switch within a local area network
(LAN) region before arriving at its destination which is described by other lines coming out of it.
Network Diagram is a graphical representation of nodes, or the various devices that are
connected to each other in a network. There are many different types of devices and connections
in wide use today’s networks. The simplest type is the point-to-point network where there is one
sender and one receiver and all data flows from the sender to the receiver in a linear manner
through an uninterrupted path. The more common form of communications exchange operates ...
