Why This Architecture Matters
The 3-Tier model continues to be a reliable and effective design for medium to large campus networks. It offers:
✔ Clear separation of roles and functions
✔ High performance and scalability
✔ Better security and traffic control
✔ Simplified troubleshooting and management
✔ Reliable support for critical operations
Core Layer – High-Speed Backbone
The Core Layer is the heart of the network, responsible for delivering very high-speed connectivity across the entire campus. It carries large volumes of traffic and connects multiple buildings, data centers, and main distribution points.
Key Highlights:
Ultra-fast data switching
Minimal latency for seamless communication
Highly redundant and resilient design
Ensures maximum network uptime
