Optimizing Your Network Bandwidth
As your network grows, it might 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. Here are some examples:
•
A Digital Entertainer Elite 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, use higher-speed
technologies to make the heaviest-traffic connections with no lower-speed bottlenecks in the path.
This illustration shows a sample network using multiple networking technologies. The two PCs
with Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet adapters have a gigabit connection through the gigabit switch
to the ReadyNAS Duo network storage unit with a gigabit connection. This connection should
allow for extremely fast access to large files on the ReadyNAS
TM
Duo unit. The EVA9000
connected through a pair of Powerline HD adapters has access at the 200 Mbps speed of the
Powerline HD connection. This is fine for any of the media files it will use over this connection
and might be more suitable than running Ethernet cables to where the entertainment system is
