Factors Affecting Network Performance

Below mentioned are the factors that affect the network performance.

• Network Infrastrucutre
• Applications used in the Network
• Network Issues
• Network Security

Network Infrastructure

Network Infrastructure is one of the factors that affect network performance. Network Infrastructure consists of routers, switches services of a network like IP Addressing, wireless protocols, etc., and these factors directly affect the performance of the network.

Applications Used in the Network

Applications that are used in the Network can also have an impact on the performance of the network as some applications that have poor performance can take large bandwidth, for more complicated applications, its maintenance is also important and therefore it impacts the performance of the network.

Network Issues

Network Issue is a factor in Network Performance as the flaws or loopholes in these issues can lead to many systemic issues. Hardware issues can also impact the performance of the network.

Network Security

Network Security provides privacy, data integrity, etc. Performance can be influenced by taking network bandwidth which has the work of managing the scanning of devices, encryption of data, etc. But these cases negatively influence the network.

The performance of a network pertains to the measure of service quality of a network as perceived by the user. There are different ways to measure the performance of a network, depending upon the nature and design of the network. Finding the performance of a network depends on both quality of the network and the quantity of the network.
