A hierarchical network design includes the following three layers:


The backbone (core) layer that provides optimal transport between sites

The distribution layer that provides policy-based connectivity

The local-access layer that provides workgroup/user access to the network

Difference between hierarchical and Network data module?

The hierarchical data model organizes data in a tree-like structure with a single parent for each child record. On the other hand, the network data model allows for multiple parent-child relationships, creating a more flexible and complex network of interconnected records. In the hierarchical model, relationships are one-to-many, while in the network model, relationships can be many-to-many.

Why is the OSI model useful in network design and assessment?

The OSI model is useful in network design and assessment because it makes network communications more manageable by dividing the processes up into smaller parts. The processes are broken up into 7 layers and each layer serves the one above it.

Why do you learn database model?

It helps you to design a database. It is a theoretical idea of what it will be like. There are different models than can be used, such as relational or network or hierarchical. Some are better suited to some kinds of databases. Using the model helps people to design and build better databases.
