Abstract:
Moving from the existing independent infrastructure to integrate shared environment (converged network) will reduce the infrastructure maintenance cost, which we use for performance analysis. This paper addresses a converged network performance analysis based on OPNET simulations. Efficiency metrics, response times, transit time, throughput and transfer delay for different transaction routes in a converged network are evaluated. Various rounds of testing have been conducted using Single User Testing and Load Performance Testing to collect performance metrics to identify architecture bottlenecks. Based on performance analysis, we observed some poor performance as well as more delays in the response times to reach TC servers. We concluded that the response times between a client and TC servers violated the Service Level Agreement. This Paper identifies that most delays were contributed mainly by processing times of TC servers in a converged network.
