Validate LAN Installations for Optimal Service Delivery

LAN validation is an element of the LAN and WLAN installation and maintenance workflow, and it is the final task associated with installation and upgrade projects. A network installation or upgrade project consists of three broad tasks: measuring current performance (for upgrade projects), installing and configuring the LAN infrastructure, and validating success. For upgrade projects where a network is already in place, measuring the current network's performance prior to the upgrade is useful for assessing whether the existing infrastructure can support a new technology rollout or the additional load of new users. It also serves as a pre-installation performance baseline for before-and-after analysis.
