Impacts of Wide Area Network Bandwidth Capacity on the Web Access Performance in a Proxy-Based Environment

Generally, by adding bandwidth capacity on Wide Area Network links, which connect organizations' Local Area Network to the Internet will ease the slow response of users Web access. Our study is to find out whether adding bandwidth capacity on organizations Wide Area Network links will give the...
