An IP network has two very important resources, its IP addresses and the
corresponding naming structure within the network. To provide effective
communication between hosts or stations in a network, each station must
maintain a unique identity. In an IP network this is achieved by the IP address.
The distribution and management of these addresses is an important
consideration in an IP network design.
IP addresses are inherently not easy to remember. People find it much easier to
remember names and have these names related to individual machines
connected to a network. Even applications rarely refer to hosts by their binary
identifiers, in general they use ASCII strings such as polo@itso.ibm.com. These
names must be translated to IP addresses because the network does not utilize
identifiers based on ASCII strings. The management of these names and the
translation mechanism used must also be considered by the IP network designer.
After the network has been designed and implemented, it must be managed.
Traffic flow, bottlenecks, security risks and network enhancements must be
monitored. Systems for this type of management are available and should be
incorporated in the IP network’s initial design, so as to avoid many headaches
with ad hoc processes coupled together at a later date.
