Homework

Your assignment is to create a network "architecture" diagram representing your home network (presuming each of you have Internet access from home) and to indicate on the diagram where you might locate IDS sensors. You need not use a technical drawing tool such as Visio, nor do you need to find relevant clip art or other graphics for your diagram. Lines and boxes such as those you can produce in PowerPoint are sufficient.

Since the assignment asks you to use your own home network as a focus, and many home networks are quite understandably simply in design, it is acceptable and even encouraged for you to produce a diagram of what your home network might look like if you determined you had a need for components like dedicated IDS solutions. Your diagram should include the following elements at a minimum:

1. Representation of your Internet connection (whether dial-up, cable modem, router, etc.)
2. Computers connected to the network, as well as a designation of whether the connection type is wired or wireless (or both)
3. Any other devices attached to the network
4. The location and type of any IDS sensors you would place on the network

A brief text description of the diagram should also be included, particularly to explain your choices about IDS placements. Your homework assignment should be submitted via your Assignments folder. I will post a diagram of what I expect will seem to be a slightly more-complex-than-average home network environment for reference at the end of the session.
