Networking allows computers and devices to communicate and share resources through interconnected communication channels. A network's performance is measured in bits per second. VLANs allow hosts to communicate as if on the same broadcast domain even if not on the same switch. Switches use MAC addresses to forward frames while routers use addresses and routing tables to direct packets between networks. The proposed network layout for ONGC improves redundancy, controls data flow, and reduces load compared to the old network.
