The PAWC IT Local Area Network infrastructure uses a 3-tier model made up
of Core layer, Distribution layer and the Access layer. The typical user
desktop is connected to the Access layer via 10/100Mbps Ethernet
connection. This in turn is connected to a dual unit in the Distribution layer
via a minimum 1Gbps Ethernet connection. The Distribution layer is
connected to the Core layer via a minimum 1Gbps Ethernet connection that
in turn is connected to Routers for connection to the WAN.
The above is the typical model however it must be noted that some sites,
notably with smaller concentration of users could have the following data flow connections:
• From Access Layer straight to the Router.
• From Access layer to Core layer to the Router.
The data flow connections at the various sites typically ranges from minimum
1 to maximum 3 layers.
