The new wave of WLAN technologies represent a thin approach to access point technology, where a large portion of the intelligence and processing load is redirected from the access point (AP) to the wireless switch.

Wired network architectures fall into two classifications: switched Layer 2 networks or routed Layer 3 networks. The fundamental difference between these network types is the communications protocol layer relied upon for propagating data across network resources. An understanding of layered communications protocols and the underlying services extended by the individual layers is necessary to understand these differences.

Network design structures are typically be categorized as one or two different architectures: non-hierarchical, or "flat" architectures, and hierarchical architectures. This paper presents an overview of the different types of network design architectures, their pros, cons, and variations. Secondly, an analysis of wired versus wireless networks is discussed in terms of enhancing a network's capabilities with the addition of wireless support.
