Episode: Network Architecture Design: Key Considerations
In this episode of DeepDive, XatusBetaZx17 breaks down the fundamental choices you must make when architecting any network—from small lab setups to large-scale enterprise deployments. We’ll cover key considerations such as topology selection (spine‑leaf, three‑tier, flat), capacity planning (bandwidth, device limits), scalability strategies, reliability and high availability, performance tuning (QoS, link aggregation), security integration (segmentation, access controls), and cost vs. complexity trade‑offs. By the end, you’ll have a clear framework to guide your next network design project and avoid common pitfalls.
