Problems

Network problems​

Bandwidth issues​

  • Limited network capacity
    • The capacity of the network infrastructure can become a bottleneck if it is not sufficient to handle the amount of traffic that is being generated.
  • Congestion
    • Congestion can occur when there is too much traffic on the network, resulting in delays and reduced bandwidth.
  • Peak usage
    • Bandwidth constraints can occur during peak usage times when the demand for bandwidth exceeds the available capacity.
  • Distance
    • The distance between the user and the server can also affect bandwidth, as the farther the distance the more the signal needs to travel, resulting in a slower connection.
  • Security measures
    • Security measures such as encryption and authentication can add additional overhead and reduce bandwidth.
  • Quality of Service (QoS) settings
    • Quality of Service (QoS) settings can also affect bandwidth if they are not properly configured.
  • Legacy or outdated technology
    • Using legacy or outdated technology can result in bandwidth constraints due to limitations in processing power or network capacity.
  • Third-party services
    • If your application relies on third-party services, the bandwidth of those services can also affect the overall performance of your application.
  • Limited or non-redundant connections
    • Limited or non-redundant connections can also become a bottleneck if a single point of failure occurs.
  • Geography
    • Some geographic locations may have less developed or lower quality internet infrastructure which can affect bandwidth.

Latency issues​

  • Distance
    • Latency increases as the distance between the user and the server increases. Therefore, placing resources closer to the users can help to reduce latency.
  • Network congestion
    • Network congestion can occur when there is too much traffic on the network, resulting in delays and increased latency.
  • Routing issues
    • Routing issues can occur when packets are routed through a longer or less optimal path, resulting in increased latency.
  • Limited bandwidth
    • Limited bandwidth can result in bottlenecks that slow down data transfer and increase latency.
  • Security measures
    • Security measures such as encryption and authentication can add additional overhead and increase latency.
  • Server performance
    • Server performance can affect latency as well. If the server is overloaded or has insufficient resources, this can result in increased latency.
  • Content generation
    • The time required to generate content dynamically can also add to the latency.
  • Third-party services
    • If your application relies on third-party services, the latency of those services can also affect the overall performance of your application.
  • Geographic location
    • Some geographic locations may have less developed or lower quality internet infrastructure which can increase latency.
  • Legacy or outdated technology
    • Using legacy or outdated technology can result in increased latency due to limitations in processing power or network capacity.
