In a computer network, there are several criteria that are
used to evaluate the performance and efficiency of the network. These include:
- Bandwidth:
the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given
period of time
- Latency:
the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another on the
network
- Throughput:
the amount of data that can be successfully transmitted and received over
a network in a given period of time
- Reliability:
the ability of the network to function correctly and provide access to
resources without interruption
- Scalability:
the ability of the network to expand and accommodate more users and
devices without compromising performance
- Security:
the ability of the network to protect data and resources from unauthorized
access, modification, or destruction
- Ease
of Management: how easy it is to monitor, troubleshoot and maintain the
network
These are just examples, and depending on the specific use
case and the goals of the network, other criteria may also be important.
