Improve Network Performance with Delay Control for Send and Receive Circuits

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of delaying the send and/or receive of a network cable, and controlling the send and receive speeds on a network. It is concluded that this cannot be achieved at the physical layer and should be addressed through software or router-level solutions. A recommendation is made to use a proxy-server for this purpose.

network circuit design?

I was wondering if there is a schematic or if anyone knows of a way to delay the send and/or the receive of a network cable. Preferable separate circuits. For example can I control how fast people on my network receive but not control the send. May be in the wrong place but i really need help on this one. Thanks

Well the quick answer is no. The reason being is that the send and receive speeds need to be syncornized. With different send and receive speed there would be a lot of lost data due to one computer sending at a faster rate than the receiving computer can receive.

Depends on the implementation of your particular network. But for most consumer networks on the market today, I would say the answer is no. However, this is something that can be controlled in software. For example: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO.html

Well, you're not going to get the desired behavior by modifying the network at the physical layer. In fact, you'll just screw everything up by even trying such a thing. Instead, as es said, you should be looking at software-level or router-level solutions. Many routers can limit bandwidth.

My friend is an expert in networking technology: he said "Use a proxy-server: that's what they're for."

1. What is network circuit design?

Network circuit design is the process of creating a network of interconnected electronic devices, such as computers, routers, and servers, to facilitate communication and data transfer between them.

2. What are the components of network circuit design?

The components of network circuit design include network topology, network hardware, protocols, and network security measures. Network topology refers to the physical or logical layout of the network. Network hardware includes devices such as routers, switches, and cables that are used to connect the devices in the network. Protocols are rules that govern how data is transmitted and received between devices. Network security measures include firewalls, encryption, and access controls to protect the network from unauthorized access.

3. What are the different types of network topologies used in network circuit design?

The most common types of network topologies used in network circuit design are bus, star, ring, mesh, and hybrid. A bus topology connects all devices in a linear fashion through a single cable. A star topology connects all devices to a central hub or switch. A ring topology connects all devices in a circular loop. A mesh topology connects each device to every other device in the network. A hybrid topology combines two or more of these topologies to create a more complex network.

4. How do you ensure the efficiency and reliability of network circuit design?

To ensure efficiency and reliability, network circuit design must consider factors such as bandwidth, latency, and network congestion. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted in a given time. Latency refers to the delay in data transfer between devices. Network congestion occurs when there is a high volume of data being transmitted, leading to slower data transfer speeds. To address these issues, network circuit design may involve the use of quality of service (QoS) protocols, load balancing, and network monitoring tools.

5. What are some common challenges in network circuit design?

Some common challenges in network circuit design include scalability, compatibility, and security. As the network grows, it must be able to handle increasing amounts of data and devices without compromising performance. Compatibility refers to the ability of different devices and hardware to communicate and work together. Network security is a critical concern to protect against cyber threats and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Network circuit designers must consider these challenges and implement appropriate solutions to ensure the smooth functioning of the network.
