Optimizing Your Network Bandwidth

As your network grows, it may 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.
