This layer has the network or networks that connect users to Adaptive Server.
Virtually all users of Adaptive Server access their data via the network. Major issues with the network layer are:
The amount of network traffic
Network bottlenecks
Network speed
Options to address these issues include:
Configuring packet sizes to match application needs
Configuring subnets
Isolating heavy network uses
Moving to a higher-capacity network
Configuring for multiple network engines
Designing applications to limit the amount of network traffic required
