Background of the Study
In university campuses, internet traffic management is crucial to ensuring efficient network performance, especially with the growing demand for bandwidth due to online learning, research, and administrative activities (Ogunleye & Musa, 2024). Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, is experiencing increasing network congestion and bandwidth bottlenecks due to heavy internet usage, impacting the quality of service for students and faculty.
Traditional methods of internet traffic management often struggle to optimize bandwidth allocation effectively, leading to slow connections and high latency. Modern techniques such as traffic shaping, load balancing, and Quality of Service (QoS) provide more dynamic and efficient traffic management strategies, ensuring that high-priority services such as academic applications and research tools receive adequate bandwidth (Adeyemi et al., 2023).
This study explores the optimization of internet traffic management strategies in Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, focusing on techniques that can effectively handle the growing demand for network resources while maintaining service quality.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University, Birnin Kebbi, is facing challenges with network congestion and inefficient traffic management, leading to slow internet speeds, poor online learning experiences, and delayed administrative processes. The current infrastructure cannot meet the increasing demand for internet bandwidth, resulting in negative impacts on academic performance and student engagement.
This study seeks to evaluate and optimize the current internet traffic management strategies to ensure the university’s network can support high-quality internet services.
