LAN - WAN Standards White Papers

Directing Your Network Traffic

Overview As more network-centric applications are developed and deployed, the network bandwidth and latency crunch grows. Almost every LAN faces congestion issues at some point during the workday. WANs encounter even more problems, with directory replication, database access and other high-load technologies forcing massive quantities of data through a global organization's narrow pipes. A variety of technologies promise administrators improved control over the data that travels across their networks, though none provide more bandwidth or less latency. Instead, they help one manage the existing resources so important traffic flows smoothly.
