An Approach for Enhanced Performance of Packet Transmission over Packet Switched Network

With the increased use of real time applications, there is a need for improved network traffic and bandwidth management. Switches are being used by computer networks for enabling connection between those hosts which are not connected by a direct link. When two or more than two host attempt to transmit packet at the same time, collision in data packets occurred. In this paper an optimized performance of local area network in terms of collision count and some other parameter have been investigated using simulation model. Simulation results have been obtained in different network scenarios by varying the number of devices in the network.
