IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Network
After a system is implemented, the network should be monitored to ensure that its bandwidth is not being consumed more than 50%.
The network can influence overall performance of your application, especially if a delay occurs in the following situations:
- Lengthy time between the point a client machine sends a request to the server and the server receives this request
- Lengthy time between the point the server machine sends data back to the client machine and the client machine receives the data
