Background of the Study
In academic institutions like Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State, network efficiency is critical for ensuring seamless academic and administrative operations. The university’s network supports various services, including online learning platforms, research databases, and internal communication channels. Network protocols like TCP, HTTP, and DNS are foundational to ensuring these services run efficiently. However, these protocols can also introduce delays, bottlenecks, or inefficiencies, particularly when the network is under heavy load or experiencing high traffic volumes.
Optimizing network protocols can significantly enhance network efficiency by improving data transfer speeds, reducing delays, and ensuring resource utilization is maximized. Protocol optimization involves tweaking various parameters such as window size, congestion control mechanisms, and buffer settings to match the network’s specific needs. This study will explore ways to optimize network protocols to improve efficiency and ensure the university’s network infrastructure can handle growing traffic demands while maintaining a high level of performance and reliability.
Statement of the Problem
Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, faces network performance challenges due to suboptimal protocol configurations, leading to delays, slow data transmission, and inefficient use of network resources. This impacts both academic and administrative operations.
Objectives of the Study
-
To evaluate the current network protocol configurations at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma.
-
To identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the existing network protocols.
-
To propose and implement optimizations for network protocols to improve overall network efficiency.
Research Questions
-
What network protocols are currently in use at Federal University, Dutsin-Ma?
-
