To maintain a flexible communications infrastructure it is important to fully understand the current network environment and develop a plan for future requirements.

One of the fundamental requirements for optimum Network Management is the basic knowledge of how a network is operating on a day to day basis and to be able to reconize any changes. There are often tell-tale indicators and minor symptoms that could alert of impending problems and unless it is known how the network operates normally, any changes could be over-looked. The best way to become familiar with what is normal operation is to collect and plot statistical data about the network. This should include a breakdown of the activity present on the network and profile statistics about the users on the network, often called a network analysis or baseline report. Once a reference point is established, regular comparing and monitoring of the network will produce trend analyses and alert to any significant deviations. This will help maintain a healthy network long term.
