Monitoring and Tuning Your Server

Monitoring the Network Connection

The primary functions of IIS 5.0 are to establish connections for its clients, to receive and interpret requests, and to deliver files—all as quickly as possible. The pace at which these vital functions are performed depends, in large part, on two factors: the effective bandwidth of the link between the server and the network, and the capacity of this link and the server to support network resources.

• Bandwidth and Capacity
• Network Specifics (Data Transmission Rates, File Transfers, TCP Connections)
