Abstract

This study presents the proposed testbed implementation for the Advanced Technology Training Center (ADTEC) Batu Pahat, one of Malaysia’s industrial training institutes. The objectives of this study are to discover the issues regarding network congestion, propose a suitable method to overcome such issues, and generate output data for the comparison of the results before and after the proposed implementation. The internet is directly connected to internet service providers (ISPs), which neither impose any rule nor filter the traffic components; all connections comply on the basis of the base effort services provided by the ISP. The congestion problem has been raised several times and the information technology (IT) department has been receiving complaints about poor and sometimes intermittent internet connection. Such issues provide some ideas for a possible solution because the end client is a human resource core business. In addition, budget constraints contribute to this problem. After a comprehensive review of related literature and discussion with experts, the implementation of quality of service through add-on rules, such as traffic policing on network traffic, was proposed. The proposed testbed also classified the traffic. Results show that the proposed testbed is stable. After the implementation of the generated solution, the IT department no longer receives any complaints, and thus fulfills the goal of having zero internet connection issues.

Highlights

  • Network technology users practice a variety of methods for searching for information, such as reading books from the library or reading an online article through internet access

  • The results showed that the adaptive throughput policy (ATP) algorithm led to high bandwidth savings and fast traffic processing time under the threshold (P1)

  • Before the implementation of quality of service (QoS) in the Advanced Technology Training Center (ADTEC) BP network, the network systems are often interrupted during peak hours and the network always goes offline

Summary

Introduction

Network technology users practice a variety of methods for searching for information, such as reading books from the library or reading an online article through internet access. When billions of users try to gain simultaneous internet access to the same data, congestion traffic occurs. This phenomenon happened in our training institute, which experiences congested internet connectivity during peak or non-peak hours. P.K. Dey et al mentioned that the solution for increasing network traffic without it becoming congested is increasing the amount of bandwidth [1]. M. Marcon et al mentioned that using a method that will yield a traffic-shaping network can resolve traffic congestion issues [2]. This proposal, will, affect voice and video transmissions because real-time communication is necessary for such processes [3]
