Plus keep in mind that if you're using a switch, then the other users aren't even going to see that traffic - the only considation is the bandwidth between the computer and the server, and like leew said, its very very trivial.

Let's put it this way...The page you are looking at right now takes more than 50,000 bytes.

Dear Network Experts,<br />
<br />
I have an application that transmits 40,000 bytes across a LAN when the end user hits Enter. &nbsp;This is likely to happen a few dozen times a day.<br />
<br />
Forgive me for asking such a dumb question, but is that a &quot;trivial&quot; amount of bandwidth usage? &nbsp;Is that going to significantly impact anyone's network performance?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Dear Network Experts,

I have an application that transmits 40,000 bytes across a LAN when the end user hits Enter.  This is likely to happen a few dozen times a day.

Forgive me for asking such a dumb question, but is that a "trivial" amount of bandwidth usage?  Is that going to significantly impact anyone's network performance?

Thanks,

Newbie Question:  How much LAN traffic is &quot;a lot&quot;?

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
