Abstract

In Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), most of the students depend
on the Internet and computer network connection to gain academics information and
share educational resources. Even though the Internet connections and computers
networks are provided, the service always experience interruption, such as slow
Internet access, viruses and worms distribution, and network abuse by irresponsible
students. Since UTP organization keeps on expanding, the need for a better service in
UTP increases. Several approaches were put into practice to address the problems.
Research on data and computer network was performed to understand the network
technology applied in UTP. A questionnaire forms were distributed among the
students to obtain feedback and statistical data about UTP's network in Students'
Residential Area. The studies concentrate only on Students' Residential Area as it is
where most of the users reside. From the survey, it can be observed that 99% of the
students access the network almost 24 hours a day. In 2005, the 2 Mbps allocated
bandwidth was utilized 100% almost continuously but in 2006, the bottleneck of
Internet access has reduced significantly since the bandwidth allocated have been
increased to 8 Mbps. Server degradation due to irresponsible acts by users also adds
burden to the main server. In general, if the proposal to ITMS (Information
Technology & Media Services) Department for them to improve their Quality of
Service (QoS) and established UTP Computer Emergency Response Team (UCert),
most of the issues addressed in this report can be solved.
