Loading is usually the biggest problem with which this class of network equipment must deal. When baselining the network, keep in mind the type of user we have on the network. Common practice in enhancing the efficiency of peripherals is to segment and increase available bandwidth for these devices. During the baseline, ensure that all the top users are not attempting to use the same servers and printers as the casual network user. Segmentation of heavy users into groups supported by a high-speed backbone is the easiest way to increase network efficiency. Most workstations and PCs are capable of supporting Fast Ethernet or FDDI interfaces. Rather than upgrade the whole network, we can segment the top users, upgrade their network access (Fast Ethernet, FDDI, or ATM), and dedicate peripherals for their use.
