Design Concepts for Using the Switch

As your network users compete for network bandwidth, it takes longe r to send a nd re ceive data. W he n
you configure your network, consider the bandwidth required by your n etwork u ser s a nd t he r e lative
priority of the network applications that they use.
Table 1 -1 describes what can cause network performance to degrade an d how you can configure you r
network to increase the bandwidth available to your network users.
