Assignment-Guide Checklists

The document provides guidelines for structuring an assignment report on networking principles and systems. It outlines the required sections of the report including an introduction, body, conclusion, and references. The body section should answer questions on networking topics like protocols, devices, bandwidth requirements, and design. It provides criteria for passing marks, including discussing network types and standards, topology, and evaluating a designed network system. Supporting evidence and testing results must be included to analyze the network's performance.
