Reorganize Your Current Equipment

Figure 10-4. Summary Report
A priority of low, medium or high is given to help you determine the urgency
of each recommendation. The priorities are defined as follows:
■ Low : Implementing this recommendation will result in a small reduction
in network utilization. A low priority recommendation may be regarded
as advance warning of a marginal condition on the network. These condi-
tions often evolve into situations that produce medium or high priority
recommendations in future reports.
■ Medium : Implementing this recommendation will result in a measurable
reduction in network utilization.
■ High : Implementing this recommendation will result in a significant
reduction in overall network utilization.
The Summary page may also provide explanations when no recommendations
are made. Possible reasons for no recommendations are:
■ The network is already optimized.
■ An error condition occurred because of bad data.
Reorganize Your Current Equipment
The report titled Reorganize Your Current Equipment makes recommenda-
tions about which nodes you can move to another location in the network in
order to reduce the amount of traffic forwarded through network devices such
as bridges, switches and routers.
