After a brief discussion on how the LAN developed, this paper will address the possible reasons for slow response, test scenario's to validate which reason is likely causing the slower response and throughput then suggest a possible solution. First, a little history of the development of …showed first 75 words of 416 total…

Data communications time means the time (or delay) in passing data through the physical components of the network. The above mentioned vendor will implement an eight node 100BASE-T network cluster by replacing 1 8-slot Hub, installing 8 interface cards and the drivers to support 100 Mbps network. Performance will be monitored and compared with the standard 8-slot Hub, 10BASE-T cluster already installed.
