Abstract
,NETWORK PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT 2
The introduction section of this project defined network performance and provided
background information on network performance enhancement. The literature review provided a
comprehensive understanding of network performance. It states that network performance
enhancement improves services, reduces the time needed, and reduces losses. It also reduces
interruptions; downtime, and it allows for scalability to occur. It points to the common causes of
poor network performance, including complexity in shared resources, equipment and hardware
updates, and the backward compatibility of new equipment. The system architecture provided
explanations and diagrams of peer-to-peer network systems and client-server network systems.
The implementation section outlined and described the implementation process, including
understanding the network, reshaping packet and service quality, and compression data packets.
It includes protocol accelerations to increase speed, out-band management to reduce staff and
system interactions, and installation of Citrix or thin client to reduce performance degradation
and education and participation of employees for appropriate network uses. Network
performance evaluation is conducted through network latency, throughput, bandwidth, and
packet loss. Future work should combine network management and performance enhancement to
increase its scope, add a theoretical framework, and provide an in-depth implementation of
network performance enhancement.

Introduction
Network performance is becoming an essential aspect of every business, organization,
government, and even individuals using network systems. As networks grow into complex
systems, the dangers, challenges, and potential complications accompany such complications
also increase (Munir et al., 2020). As a result, the standard network performance the past
performance metrics for measuring the performance of networks have become more unreliable in
measuring it accurately (Munir et al., 2020). It is because the complexity of networks
encompasses diverse factors such as the high-speed nature of the networks. Network
performance is crucial because, without the network’s optimal performance, the business’s
digital foundation begins to fail, leading to performance and financial losses.
It is essential to define what network performance is before delving into its aspects.
According to Tomar and Tyagi (2014), network performance is defined as the quality of services
provided by a network. Imagine some of the costs that emanate from the brand or organizations
when the e-commerce site or the corporate network is down or experiences any form of
unexpected latency. It causes a lot of inconvenience to the organization or the brand. It,
therefore, means that network performance is a crucial aspect of a brand. According to Tomar
and Tyagi (2014), the optimization of organizational networks is an important aspect. IT experts
in every organization strive to analyze network statistics to identify improvement areas and
potential problem elimination. Tomar and Tyagi (2014) add that, in reality, the fine-tuning
process of a network is complicated since every network has a unique structure. It is an aspect
that makes performance optimization in the corporate world complex. Also, Munir et al. (2020)
assert that the complexity of network performance enhancement is brought about by the methods
and tools used in monitoring and measuring it. They do not always provide an accurate state of
