Network Design

Our network employs a wide variety of networking technologies.

Core routers are interconnected with Ten Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet, capable of routing up to 720 Gigabits per second. Campus buildings are interconnected with Ten Gigabit or Gigabit Ethernet, capable of routing between 120 and 256 Gigabits per second. Features of the wired network incorporate differentiated service, which offers to applications needing real-time performance such as VoIP and High-Definition video, Multicast for the efficient delivery of streaming video, and policy routing for the efficient movement of traffic across the network.

Our campus is also blanketed with 802.11g access points capable of providing 54Mbps of mobile connectivity. Features of the wireless network include Cisco Clean Access authentication, roaming, and an optional 128-bit encryption.
