An enterprise has recently expanded its operations, and employees are experiencing slow network speeds. The IT manager suspects the issue might be due to the current throughput not meeting the increased demand created by additional users and upgraded applications. What would be an effective method to confirm if throughput capacity is indeed the root cause of the slow network speeds?
Replace all existing Ethernet cables with higher category ones.
Perform network bandwidth analysis.
Increase the number of access points in the network.
Upgrade the firmware on all network routers.
Inspect all networking devices for hardware faults.
Performing a network bandwidth analysis would provide data on the actual bandwidth being used compared to the available bandwidth. If the analysis shows that the actual usage is consistently near or at the capacity of the network, it is likely that increasing the throughput capacity would resolve the issue. Inspecting cables or replacing network devices, while important in general, would not directly determine if throughput capacity is the issue.
