Improving Circuit Capacity
Analyze the traffic to find the circuits approaching capacity
- Upgrade overused circuits
- Downgrade underused circuits to save cost
Examine why circuits are overused
- Caused by traffic between certain locations
- Add additional circuits between these locations
- Capacity okay generally, but not meeting peak demand
- Add a circuit switched or packet switched service that is only used when demand exceeds capacity
- Caused by a faulty circuit somewhere in the network
- Replace and/or repair the circuit
Make sure that circuits are operating properly
