The Network Bottleneck

Bottleneck :-

The delay in transmission of data through the circuits of a computer's over a TCP/IP network. The delay typically occurs when a system's bandwidth cannot support the amount of information being relayed at the speed it is being processed. There are, however, many factors that can create a bottleneck in a system.

Bottlenecks affect network performance by slowing down the flow of information transmitted across networks. TCP/IP connections were originally designed to transmit only text files, and the proliferation of bandwidth-intensive transmissions such as high-resolution graphics has caused bottlenecks in the process; therefore, the data moves more slowly across networks

Network Balancing

Subnetting your network and putting multiple NICs in your servers will help to solve the bottleneck, but you must figure out how to split the network so that the load will be evenly distributed - one connection may be lying idle while the other is saturated.
