An Efficient Approach to Set Up High Performance Network Center in Academia

Abstract

Performance is a critical issue in setup of network center in any academia. In a research institute, a moment of time is precious for analysis, design, research and development. In this work, an efficient approach, which based on firewall, complaint handling system, LDAP server and spanning tree protocol, is used to set up a network center in ABV-IIITM to provide network facility to researcher, student and faculty in cost-effective and fast-processing way. Here, the Spanning-Tree Protocol is applied in switched networks for a loop free network which open a path for fault tolerant network. That increases 60-70 percent performance in compare to traditional approach used in setup of Network Center. Complaint handling system is a unique characteristic of this network, which ensure transparency and make this network more users friendly.
