Chapter One Synopses

                After reading chapter one of the CWNA: Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide, I can say that I learned a lot more about the history of wireless networking and networking architecture. Because there is just so much information out there on the topic of networking architecture, sometimes it helps when some books such as this one can condense the information into more absorbable chunks. With that said, I was able to grasp of what the terms core, distribution, and access meant. For instance, the goal of the core is to carry large amounts of information between key data centers or distribution areas, the distribution layer of the network routes or directs traffic toward the smaller clusters of nodes or neighborhoods of the network, and the access layer of the network is responsible for slower delivery of the traffic directly to the end user or end node. Overall I can say I am glad I took the time to read this chapter, because these are important fundamentals.
