Enterprise networks are important, with size and complexity even surpassing carrier networks. Yet, the design of enter- prise networks is ad-hoc and poorly understood. In this pa- per, we show how a systematic design approach can handle two key areas of enterprise design: virtual local area net- works (VLANs) and reachability control. We focus on these tasks given their complexity, prevalence, and time-consuming nature. Our contributions are three-fold. First, we show how these design tasks may be formulated in terms of network- wide performance, security, and resilience requirements. Our formulations capture the correctness and feasibility constraints on the design, and they model each task as one of optimiz- ing desired criteria subject to the constraints. The optimiza- tion criteria may further be customized to meet operator- preferred design strategies. Second, we develop a set of al- gorithms to solve the problems that we formulate. Third, we demonstrate the feasibility and value of our systematic design approach through validation on a large-scale campus network with hundreds of routers and VLANs. |
