There are a number of ways of improving the overall performance of the
network, some of which are discussed in Chapter 4, “Improving Network
Performance.”
However, the majority of these suggestions should only be
undertaken by experienced system administrators. Any improvement made by
modifying the actions of the FDDI network is negligible compared to what is
gained by making more efficient use of the available bandwidth.
