Campus Network

• 
  A campus network is a proprietary LAN-local area network or set of interconnected LANs serving a corporation, government agency, university, or similar organization. In this context, a typical campus encompasses a set of buildings in close proximity. The end users in a campus network may be dispersed more widely than in a single LAN, but they are usually not as scattered as they would be in a WAN - wide area network.
• A typical campus network or campus area network is a computer network made up of an interconnection of local area networks (LANs) within a limited geographical area. The networking equipments (switches, routers, firewalls, IPSs) and transmission media (optical fiber, copper cable) are used to interconnect & communicate among all devices connected.
   The campus network provides the data network to the buildings around the University. It consists of three layers.
  • Edge (Access) providing the connection from your desktop or laptop to the network, this currently runs at 1Gb.
  • Distribution which provides the access from your building to the rest of campus and the internet, this runs at 4Gb.
  • Core that acts as the central hub for the network, this runs at 80Gb.
