Optimizing Your Network Bandwidth
As your network grows, it might consist of several segments of different networking
technologies, each providing different throughput. In planning your network, you should first
consider which devices will have the heaviest traffic flow between them. Examples are:
•
A media center in one room streaming high-definition video from a server in another room
•
A storage device that is used for backing up your computers
Next, consider the throughput of your network devices. Where possible, make the
heaviest-traffic connections using higher-speed technologies, with no lower-speed
bottlenecks in the path.
