Network Performance Monitoring and Utilization Measurement

Computer intensive applications require efficient monitoring of computer networks. This can be enabled by operational analysis. In addition to other parameters, utilization measurement of a local network was carried out for a period of 24 hours by an artificially generated continuous workload, and at varying workloads caused by normal and increased use of network applications. Regardless of the rather high network workload, the commutated network proved its resistance to collisions and errors. It also showed a tendency to a change of utilization depending on the load itself. Utilization diagrams show the true behavior pattern of particular network segments. Utilization changes show a certain regularity by means of which future changes of performance might be foreseen.
