Network Traffic

Even if 100 megabytes per second (MBps) of Ethernet seems to be enough bandwidth initially, remember that this bandwidth is actually shared by all the servers in the network segment. For example, if there are 10 Web servers accessed equally in a 100 MBps network segment, only 10 MBps of bandwidth will be available to each server. To increase bandwidth, you can add some other production Web servers to the existing architecture. Or you can build a similar architecture, if the traffic generated by the production Web servers will overload the existing architecture.
