Performance Analysis of Network Operating Systems in Local Area Networks

With the increased uses of computer networks, the performance analysis of networks is becoming critical. Businesses need to transfer more data at the minimum amount of time in their LANs and WANs. At the heart of a client-server environment are network operating systems. These modern operating systems contain significantly more embedded features than what their predecessors had, thus it is necessary to know how they perform with these increased functionality. However, comparison of these operating systems is not an easy task as different operating systems have different features and functionality.
