Stakeholders
The organization is expanding nationally and internationally
It requires careful planning to achieve the full potential (Yang et al., 2019).
It is complex operation
These stakeholders will include:
The head of networks
The CIO
The security team
Financial department
The organization is expanding nationally and internationally, which will assist in increased responsiveness and flexibility. When implementing the Wide Area Network, it requires careful planning to achieve the full potential (Yang et al., 2019). This will involve selecting more stakeholders since it is complex operation. These stakeholders will include the head of networks, the CIO, the security team, and financial department.

Internal and external networking components
The WAN topology will be made up of several components.
A router and modem will be effective in connecting LAN
Fiber optic cables (Rai, 2016).
Enterprise grade routers CPEs) to provide last-mile interface.
The WAN topology will be made up of several internal and external components to necessitate sharing of data among different computer devices or systems. A router and modem will be effective in connecting local area network to the designed network. Also, fiber optic cables will assist in connecting the LANs (Rai, 2016). Enterprise grade routers will be used as CPEs to provide the WAN connection’s last-mile interface.

Security recommendation
The computer network will span a large geographical area.
It is essential to ensure a tight security
It will involve connecting via Virtual Private Network (VPN) (Mazhar, n.d.).
It will create a secure tunnel that will protect the data
All devices must be part of the network.
The computer network will span a large geographical area. Therefore, ensuring a tight security will be essential. The security will be best kept by connecting via Virtual Private Network (VPN) (Mazhar, n.d.). This will create a secure tunnel that will protect the data while allowing voice and traffic to pass through the WAN as it would in a LAN. Also, all devices must be part of the network.

Network protocols
Protocols are standards that define ways of transferring data
These will involve:
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN)
PPP will connect one computer to another (Rai, 2016).
It will help communicate over the Internet or the telephone network.
ISDN will access packet-switched networks
The network protocols are standards that define ways of transferring data from one system to another. The protocols that will be used are Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN). PPP will help in connecting one computer to another (Rai, 2016). It will be used by computers to communicate over the Internet or the telephone network. Also, the ISDN will assist in accessing packet-switched networks for easier digital data and voice transmission.

Conclusion
Network planning involves a complex work
The initial cost of purchasing equipment and components may pause a threat
Through this project, I hope to:
Learn about the working of various networks
Learn how to set various networks
The project help reflect what was taught in class
The outcomes are therefore clear
When planning a network for a big organization, it involves a complex operation. Although there may lack challenges, the issue of purchasing the components and equipment may pause a threat. Through the project, I am hoping to learn on how different networks work, and the strategies to follow when setting a desired network. Also, It is easier to reflect on what was covered in class through the project. Therefore, the outcomes are clear to me.
