Abstract
This paper surveys various literatures on network performance with main focus on three main issues:
its meaning, quantification and measurement. The essence of performance in communication systems
is discussed and its meaning explored. Further, we look at relationship between network performance
and its characteristics. The weaknesses in literature are disclosed with respect to how performance is
conceptualized and applied in networks. The study reveals that there is need to carry out further
research to redefine and quantify network performance with intent to get rid of existing misconception
and ambiguity.
