7-5 Fine-Tuning Your Network
v1.0, January 2010
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. Examples are:
• A media center 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, make the heaviest-traffic
connections using higher-speed technologies, with no lower-speed bottlenecks in the path.
Figure 7-1 shows a sample network using multiple networking technologies. In this network, the
two PCs with Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet adapters have a gigabit connection through the GS605
switch to the storage server. This connection should allow for extremely fast backups or quick
access to large files on the server. The PC connected through a pair of Powerline HD adapters is
