Project: Effects of Network Configurations on Client/Server Interaction Student Researchers: Amber Van Wyk, Elaine Winecoff Advisors: Merry McDonald, Gary McDonald Institution: Northwest Missouri State University The overall goal of the project is to analyze performance of client/server programming using a variety of network configurations. Performance will be measured by response time and traffic generation on the network. Response time shall be defined as the average time span between submission of a request and receipt of a response. Traffic generation will be concerned with the number of packets generated and an analysis of the traffic pattern on both single LAN segments and on multiple LAN segments connected by routers.
