Description: The process of examining a network to understand its structure and performance involves a series of techniques and tools that allow system and network administrators to gain a clear insight into how a network behaves in terms of connectivity, speed, and efficiency. This process includes collecting data on network traffic, identifying bottlenecks, assessing latency, and evaluating resource availability. Through monitoring and analysis tools, data flows can be visualized, and anomalies that may indicate security or performance issues can be detected. Understanding the network architecture, which may include devices such as routers, switches, and access points, is crucial for optimizing its operation. Additionally, network analysis allows administrators to plan future expansions or modifications, ensuring that the infrastructure adapts to the changing needs of users and applications in various technological contexts.
