Network design, simulations and improvement, using riverbed academic edition, version 17.5 at the universities: A case study of University of Technology, Jamaica

Abstract

Planning network, designs, simulations and improvements with different users, hosts, services and subnets with different topologies have been actively used and implemented in computer network vision over two (2) decades. As a result, numerous approaches have been used with varying degrees of success to evaluate the performance of these computer network designs, simulations and improvements. A class of approach that has shown a substantial promise is the one that gives predictive results regarding the number of workstations, servers, hosts, services, subnets and categories of cables used in the network is by riverbed academic edition, version 17.5. A common theme in this green computing, to this approach is by creating different scenarios and duplicate scenarios. The researchers have investigated the extent to which this new approach, if implemented, will not only improve the Network bandwidth but will also improve the data rate and the overall performance of the network at Universities, industries and businesses and a case study of University of Technology, Jamaica. In addition, the researchers considered the cost constraints and the required service to be offered to different types of users.
