 Because of all workstations, video kiosks and other related equipment are located in same building and we don't have to connect to our network other locations as well, designing a LAN (Local Area Network) will be the best solution in this case. For this reason I would use a LAN hybrid topology - the star-wired bus formation. In a star-wired bus topology, groups of workstations are star-connected to connectivity devices and then networked via a single bus. With this design, I could cover longer distances and easily interconnect or isolate different network segments. One drawback is that this option is more expensive than using the star topology alone because it requires more cabling and potentially more connectivity devices. However, compared with the benefits, these drawbacks are negligible. The star-wired bus topology forms the basis for modern Ethernet networks, which commonly use switches or routers as the connectivity devices.

Regarding the logical topology, I would use a bus logical topology. Networks that use either the star or star-wired bus physical topologies also result in a bus logical topology. However, it is not necessarily to match network's logical topology with its physical topology. The fact that all nodes connected to a bus network can communicate directly via broadcast transmissions makes them part of a single broadcast domain.

As a backbone, I would use a parallel backbone, which is the most robust type of network backbone. The switch is connected to the router by two cables, and the two routers are also connected by two cables. The most significant advantage of using a parallel backbone is that its redundant links ensure network connectivity to any area of the enterprise. Parallel backbones are more expensive than other enterprise-wide topologies because they require much more cabling than the others. However, they make up for the additional cost by offering increased performance and better fault tolerance.

As a throughput,...
