Your work at Thrift Towne was so successful that you are asked to provide networking advice to a chain of ice cream stores called Scoops. The company already has a server-based network. The server that holds the company’s inventory, ordering, sales, time tracking, and employee information and provides an Internet connection is located at their store across the street from Thrift Towne. Three other Scoops stores in town connect to the central server through high-speed Internet connections. Scoops is having problems with heavy traffic and slow server response at 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day. They don’t exactly know where the traffic originates or what type of traffic it is. They also don’t know whether the two heavy traffic times every day warrant a change in their connection methods. What kind of network services will help them assess their traffic situation and provide answers about possible network expansion? What types of things can they find out? What other kinds of services might they also use, given their network configuration?
