Improving network performance by traffic reduction
This paper presents the problems existing in a typical campus
network system which have a negative effect on network performance, and
discusses approaches in network management to improve the performance by
traffic reduction. Statistics are gathered to show the variation of
average response time from critical network devices. It turns out that
the Internet servers suffer from a more frequently varying response time
than the common intra-network servers. It also shows that better
network performance results if the network traffic is kept as local as
possible. The main concerns in identifying the network problems include
the analysis of the distribution of the critical network resources,
network segment workload and information flow; and the routing policy
and the configuration of different workgroups. To reduce the network
traffic and improve network performance, different strategies in network
management are discussed: decentralizing the network resources and
centralizing the information control by building Intranets, while both
involve constructing appropriate workgroups using VLAN technology
