1 Why is it useful categorize networks by size when discussing network design?
Knowing the number of connected devices will define how many additional layers will be added to the three-tier hierarchical network design.
Knowing the number of connected devices will define how many multilayer switches will be necessary at the core layer.
A high-level redundancy at the access layer may be better implemented if the number of connected devices is know.
The complexity of networking infrastructure will vary according to the number of connected devices.*
