Optimizing Your Network Bandwidth, A storage device that is used for backing up your computers

Page 63 highlights

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 Digital Entertainer HD 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. 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch SC101T Storage Central with Gigabit Ethernet HDX101 Powerline HD Adapter Digitall Entertainer HD EVA8000 EVA8000 HD Digital Entertainer Internet 1000 Mbps 300 Mbps 200 Mbps 10/100 Mbps 1-3 Mbps typical Broadband Modem Figure 5-7 WNR834T RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N router Desktop PC with Gigabit PCI Adapter Notebook PC with Gigabit Ethernet Notebook PC with WN511T RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N adapter 5-11

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 Digital Entertainer HD 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.
