Hybrid Topology Design for Improving Network Performance
The computer network of Plateau State Universities Bokkos (PSU), located in Plateau State, Nigeria. We surveyed the existing network of PSU for experience of internet users and topology requirements from technical staff. The network topology was designed based on the network data collected during survey, which was also simulated for performance outputs. In this paper, we present the proposed topology, referred to as the hybrid topology for improving network performance. The performance outputs of the existing topology is being brought forward and be compared with the performance outputs of the hybrid topology for comparative purpose. In the end, the comparative result will show us if there is improvement from simulation results or not. This would help us to for-see the possibility that our new network would be better when installed.
