Achieving Practical Network Application Impact and Response Time Projections

摘要

Preparing for the successful deployment or expansion of a networked application that offers acceptable performance at remote locations often involves more than just ensuring adequate network bandwidth. This paper outlines the concepts, tools, and processes utilized to accomplish a practical Network Impact Assessment that includes end-user response time projections. Elements of these techniques can also be employed to reveal the true source of poor application performance and eliminate finger-pointing between network and application support personnel.
