A network is a group of hardware devices and software components that are designed to connect devices. To be effective and efficient, a network must meet a number of criteria. The most important of these are performance, throughput, delay and security. CIT college network is a well designed and an efficient network but suffers from various problems like hardware failure, bandwidth congestion, application server processing time, quality of data, authentication service and the like. Hence diagnosing network performance issues is part of our daily work. This paper aims to simulate and analyze the performance of LAN network implemented in our college using NETSIM, and to study its performance metrics. A proper study on the network metrics is made and solutions for improvement measures are provided. A considerable increase in throughput and decrease in delay is been noted by modifying the parameters in the application type, switching mode and transport layer of wired and wireless node in the current network structure.
