Performance Analysis of Throughput at Bahir Dar University LAN

Abstract

It is obvious that the network performance cannot exceed the hardware capacity. Frequent up gradation of hardware is not possible in order to achieve high performance. Hence changes are needed in the technical modification, which helps economically. Computer scientists and network users have discovered that standard TCP does not perform well in high bandwidth delay environments. As a model, the Local Area Network of Bahir Dar University Engineering Faculty was tested and reported. . In this paper, we explore the challenges of achieving high throughput over real environments. Moreover, various performance factors like Delay, Throughput, Network capacity, Available and achievable performance were studied and discussed. Comments were made on decreasing delay factors and better solutions were recommended for buffer management.
