PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF SWITCHED ETHERNET SERVICES IN MODERN NETWORKING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

In contemporary networking contexts, reliable, scalable, and efficient data transfer are contingent
the performance and optimization of switched Ethernet services. The methods, difficulties, and tactics associated with assessing and maximizing switched Ethernet services in modern network architectures are examined in this study. The paper starts with an analysis of basic Ethernet switching technologies and their functions. It then defines important performance measures that are necessary for assessing the performance of Ethernet services, including throughput, latency, packet loss, and scalability. We examine several evaluation strategies to provide insights into network behaviour and pinpoint performance bottlenecks, such as simulation-based methods and benchmarking tools. To further improve the effectiveness and Dependability of Ethernet services, optimization tactics like traffic management strategies, Quality of Service (QoS) implementations, network design enhancements, and the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies like Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are investigated. Effective optimization activities are emphasized through
real- world case studies and best practices, and next directions address new developments and possible strides in Ethernet service optimization. This paper aims to provide insightful knowledge for network administrators and engineers to optimize switched Ethernet services efficiently in contemporary networking environments, satisfying the constantly changing demands of digital connectivity through a thorough examination of performance evaluation and optimization strategies.
