...
Ensure switches, routers, and other network devices are properly configured and capable of handling the network load.
Implement a hierarchical network design that minimises the number of network hops and reduces latency.
Utilise spanning tree protocols (STP, RSTP, or MSTP) to eliminate loops and ensure a loop-free network topology, thereby preventing latency caused by broadcast storms and excessive traffic.
Quality of Service (QoS) Configuration
...
Configure QoS settings on network devices to prioritise Vivi traffic and reduce latency for real-time applications.
Assign appropriate priority levels and bandwidth limits to different types of traffic, ensuring that Vivi receives sufficient resources.
VLANs and Inter-VLAN Routing
...
VLANs are used to segregate network traffic into separate virtual networks, which can improve network performance and reduce latency.
Properly configure VLANs and inter-VLAN routing to ensure efficient communication between different network segments.
Ensure that VLANs are appropriately designed and implemented based on the school's network requirements and traffic patterns.
Monitor VLAN traffic and analyse any potential bottlenecks or misconfigurations that may contribute to latency.
...
Redundant Routes and Spanning Tree Protocols
...
Configure redundant routes and utilise spanning tree protocols to provide network redundancy without introducing latency issues.
Regularly monitor the status of redundant links and spanning tree configurations to identify and resolve any issues affecting latency.
...
Network Latency Testing
...
Perform regular network latency testing using specialised tools to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
