Traffic Conditions in a Converged Network
Modern networks must support various types of traffic:
• Voice and video traffic
• Voice applications traffic
• Mission-critical traffic
• Transactional traffic
• Network management traffic
• Routing protocol traffic
This mix of traffic greatly impacts the network requirements
such as security and performance.
To help enterprises, Cisco has developed the Intelligent
Information Network (IIN).

Cisco Intelligent Information Network
The Intelligent Information Network (IIN):
• Integrates networked resources and information assets.
• Extends intelligence across multiple products and infrastructure
layers.
• Actively participates in the delivery of services and applications.
The IIN technology vision consists of 3 three phases in
which functionality can be added to the infrastructure as
required:
• Integrated transport
• Integrated services
• Integrated applications

Cisco SONA Framework
The Cisco Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) is
an architectural framework to create a dynamic, flexible
architecture and provide operational efficiency through
standardization and virtualization.
• SONA provides guidance, best practices, and blueprints for
connecting network services and applications to enable business
solutions.
• In this framework, the network is the common element that connects
and enables all components of the IT infrastructure.
SONA help enterprises achieve their goals by leveraging:
• The extensive Cisco product-line services
• The proven Cisco architectures
• The experience of Cisco and its partners

Updated SONA Framework
Cisco Systems has recently updated the SONA framework:
Cisco designs, tests, and validates sets of modular, connected
infrastructure elements organized by places in the network
(PINs).

Creating an Implementation Plan
An effective, documented, implementation plan is a result of
good processes and procedures during network design,
implementation, and performance testing.
There are two approaches to implementing changes to a
network.
• Ad-hoc approach
• Structured approach

Models and Methodologies
Luckily there are there are many models and methodologies
used in IT that define a lifecycle approach using various
processes to help provide high quality IT services.
• No need to reinvent the wheel.
Examples of these models:
• The Cisco Lifecycle Services (PPDIOO) model
• IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
• The Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security
(FCAPS) model
• International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
• The Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) model
• Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T)

Cisco Lifecycle Services (PPDIOO) Model
The Cisco Lifecycle Services approach defines six phases in the
network lifecycle and is referred to as the PPDIOO model:
Prepare Plan Design Implement Operate Optimize

PPDIOO – Prepare, Plan, and Design
The PPDIOO methodology begins with these three basic
steps:
• Step 1 Identify customer requirements
• Step 2 Characterize the existing network and sites
• Step 3 Design the network topology and solutions
Prepare Plan Design
Identify Characterize Design the
customer existing network
requirements network
Once the design is defined, the implementation plan can be
executed.

PPDIOO – Implement, Operate, Optimize
The next three steps include:
• Step 4 Plan the implementation:
• Step 5 Implement and verify the design:
• Step 6 Monitor and optionally redesign:
Design Implement Operate / Optimize
Plan the Implement and Monitor / Redesign

Implementation Plan documentation
The implementation plan documentation should include the
following:
• Network information
• Tools required
• Resources required
• Implementation plan tasks
• Verification tasks
• Performance measurement and results
• Screen shoots and photos, as appropriate
The documentation creation process is not finished until the
end of the project, when the verification information is
added to it.
