A tool designed for estimating the necessary data transmission capacity for Encore Networks equipment aids in determining the appropriate connection size for optimal performance. For instance, configuring an SD-WAN deployment using such a tool allows network administrators to predict the required bandwidth for various applications, ensuring smooth operation for voice, video, and data services.
Accurate capacity planning is crucial for avoiding network congestion and ensuring Quality of Service (QoS). Historically, network administrators relied on manual calculations and estimations, a process prone to errors and often resulting in over-provisioning or under-provisioning of bandwidth. Tools for automating this process provide more precise estimates, leading to cost savings and improved network performance. This efficiency is particularly important in modern network environments with increasing demands on bandwidth due to cloud applications and rich media content.
