  • Abstract:

Network Performance evaluation refers to the measure of the quality of service
(QoS) of a network. Performance evaluation of the network of the Federal University of Technology
Akure (FUTA) focuses on the quality of service the network provides to her users. This research
evaluates the performance of FUTA network in the light of its availability, connectivity and
accessibility at various areas under the coverage of the network. A structured questionnaire was
distributed among 200 users of the network. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for
Social Sciences (SPSS) software package (version 11 for windows on PC). The availability,
connectivity and accessibility of the network at various locations were analyzed. A critical analysis
of the research was made and some challenges users encounter while using the network were also
identified. Problems that still hinder the effective performance of the network were cited and some
recommendations were presented.
