1. How response times are affected for the
a) Speed of devices
In a network, network devices like switch, routers and repeaters will responds to the users based on the speed that ISP is providing and the devices that we are using in a network. To get minimum or agreed responds time we need list down the requirements of customer, order accordingly and user suitable cables like cat5, 5E and 6. So that the components in these network devices will responds accordingly. For example, if it’s a small company with 10 users we don’t need to use high tech servers, printers and other network sharing devices.
b) Bandwidth of transmission line
Transmission line is a connectivity line through which your network is connected to the internet. These lines are rented by ISP to provide internet. The response times will depend upon bandwidth that ISP is providing. In other words, the amount of downloading …show more content…
The data is converted into packets and send through switch to the destination node. The response time depends upon how many devices send data at particular time. If there are few packets traveling through switch the respond time will be less. Otherwise it will take to send to other end.
d) Queuing at hosts
In a network where the entire network devices like printer, VoIP server and fax machine can be manages by any node depends upon permission. The responds time of this nodes will depends upon the usage of these devices. For instance if ten user gave print command more or less at the same time then there will be queue in printer which is manages by administrator/ operator.
e) Processing time
The response time depends upon time taken by the packets to reach destination nodes. The time taken by the packets is total depends on the processor, RAM and the compatibility of the network devices like switches, routers and repeaters.
f) Message size and
