Slow Network Analysis Paper
Increase in number of users:
In 1993 there were 14 million users in 2014 there is almost three billion users. The network constituting of interconnected set of computers in a small, limited area such as office buildings, universities, homes etc. is said to be a Local Area Network (LAN). Performance of a LAN refers to the average speed of the network. There are many ways to measure the performance of the network. With the increase in the number of users the performance of the network could come down drastically. This is due to heavy user of the network and the internet, which will make connections slower. For example, I have a 14 year old and a 4 year old who like to play Mind Craft online along with some other online games. The internet we have is only 3.5mbs and when both of them are on playing, I have a hard time getting to my online school to do homework because they are both using up all the bandwidth.
Increase in network nodes:
A local area network consist of a collection of nodes (computers) or devices connected to the network. Switches, routers, modems, and hubs is considered a network node. Increases in the number of nodes, which …show more content…
With the introduction of wireless edge devices on a network it has an increase in performance and freedom compared to those who use a wired connection. With fewer user on the wireless network than on the wired network, traffic and user are fewer, which makes the network faster comparably. But as we have learned, increases in wireless traffic have problems like physical obstacles, interference from other wireless devices, the distance from an access point, and access rights to other
