A Study of Internet Services Performance of Higher Institutions

In this research work, the performance of IP Address version 4.0 and IP Address version 6.0 is studied. The performance of the Network cabling system including UTP, STP and fiber optic with respect to their file transfer speed and reliability is examined. The method of Internet Bandwidth Optimization using the Link-Load Balancer which had resulted to zero down-time in the availability of internet access was analyzed. The performance of the Actual Internet bandwidth on the entire WAN with respect to the acceptable number of internet users is studied. The performance analysis of different Network interface Cards (NIC) with respect to their data transmission time and throughput is examined. The performance of Layer 3 Network switch with respect to its advantages over the store-and-forward type is also studied. In addition, the performance of wireless network operation is effectively examined as well.
