Duplexer Radio
One of the top causes of slow network devices are Auto Negotiation issues. Assumptions about how auto-negotiation works often lead to a wrong setup. Auto-negotiation allows a router or switch port to automatically connect with a device and determine the optimum duplex and speed for that device.
Speed is the transfer rate of the interface 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, etc. Duplex describes how data flows on the interface. With Half-duplex data flows only one direction: data can only be transmitted or received but not both. Full duplex allows both transmit and receive to happen simultaneously. Half duplex is like a walkie-talkie whereas full duplex is more like a phone conversation where both parties can talk at the same time.
Auto negotiation does not determine the port settings on the other end of the line but rather starts a dialog with the connected device. If both ends are set to auto then a successful, high speed connection will be negotiated. If one end has been set to fixed settings for speed or duplex then auto-negotiate will fail and the connection settings may differ and the connection speed will suffer.
MTD Best Practice: if both ends of the link support Auto-Negotiation then use it, otherwise be sure to set both ends to the same settings.
If network Ethernet wiring or the Fiber is not made correctly, then the port may receive too many errors. It may (depending on the settings) auto-negotiate a slower speed. We have seen bad gigabit fiber slow to a crawl when the fiber was poorly made, poorly run, cracked because it took a turn too sharply, cracked because it was tugged too hard, or when the transceiver module on one end or the other went bad.
With standard twisted pair Ethernet care must be taken to use a properly rated cable with good ends particularly at the higher speeds in or again the speed will fall and you will not get the performance you expect. Be cautious when you just pull a cable out of the pile to make that connection. Do you really know that it is speced for 1000BT? If it’s fiber, is it really good?
Fiber and Ethernet testers from companies such as Fluke should be used particularly in large installations to verify cable integrity. But once the system is in place, how do you know when something like this is happening? A simple ping test is great to see when there is an outright failure but will not help locate these kinds of problems. Looking at throughput, errors, and packet loss on a switch port may be the best thing to look at if there is a slow down and you’ve ruled out problems such as auto-negotiate.
Many network switches have a web interface that allows you to check the status of ports. If you are using Cisco and most professional switches, the ’show interfaces’ command from the console login will show a variety of stats about the port including the various errors so you can confirm connections. MTD Systems can monitor port throughput and status over time to give easy visibility to these kinds of problems.
MTD Best Practice: Confirm network integrity by checking throughput by transferring large files while also watching for CRC errors and dropped packets. Deficiencies in any of these parameters may mean a faulty cable which should be checked with a cable tester or an auto-negotiation issue.

While NTP servers are the key devices that help in providing precise time stamps for synchronising clocks in network devices and computers, people still have a doubt as to why is this synchronization essential? What is the use of sync clocks? What is the role played by NTP servers in getting this job done? If you also have all these questions in mind, you got to read the following content and find the answer yourself.
There are both commercial and programming needs to sync clocks to a common time base. Commercially, accurate timing is required to maintain and troubleshoot devices on the network, analysis of popular distributed attacks, resolve common disputes among different parties competing for a time-critical transaction and many more. When it comes to a programming environment, these time stamps decide what part of the code needs to be rebuilt or reconstructed based on the timestamps of other parts of the code. Accurate timestamps are also required for correlation of events in a distributed network and also it serves as potential evidence in criminal proceedings. Apart from these some key features like debugging, audit, security and client server authentication all depends on proper event correlation which in turn depends on proper time synchronisation.
Having stated the importance of time synchronisation it is now time to highlight the role played by NTP servers in this scenario. These are key elements in the process that provides you with the precise time stamp when clients synchronise their internal clocks. These servers are either directly connected to the reference clocks like atomic clock and thus get the reference time or use some mechanism like GPS or radio signal to get this time value. These servers also devices on the network so they sync their time first and make that as reference to other devices in the network.
