Your work at Thrift Towne has been so successful that you have been requested to advise a chain of ice cream restaurants named Scoops on networking. The business already operates on a server-based network. The server that houses the company's inventory, ordering, sales, time tracking, and employee information, as well as providing an internet connection, is housed across the street from Thrift Towne in their shop. Three other Scoops locations across town are connected to the central server through high-speed internet connections. At 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. each day, Scoops is experiencing high traffic and sluggish server performance. They have no idea where the traffic is coming from or what sort of traffic it is. Additionally, they are unsure if the two periods of high traffic each day require a change in their connection techniques. What network services will assist them in assessing their traffic situation and providing guidance on potential network expansion? What kind of information may they glean? What additional services may they use in addition, given their network configuration?
