    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_web_crawling

    Distributed web crawling is a distributed computing technique whereby Internet search engines employ many computers to index the Internet via web crawling.Such systems may allow for users to voluntarily offer their own computing and bandwidth resources towards crawling web pages.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler

    Architecture of a Web crawler. A Web crawler, sometimes called a spider or spiderbot and often shortened to crawler, is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web and that is typically operated by search engines for the purpose of Web indexing (web spidering).

  4. Network performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_performance

    All of the factors above, coupled with user requirements and user perceptions, play a role in determining the perceived 'fastness' or utility, of a network connection. The relationship between throughput, latency, and user experience is most aptly understood in the context of a shared network medium, and as a scheduling problem.

    A method of connection to the internet using existing copper phone lines using a modem on the client's end to send information at a slow speed, normally reaching maximum speed at about 56 kbit/s. This technology uses the voice spectrum of the telephone lines to transmit data using a system of sounds that only the receiving modem or ISP understand.

  6. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

  7. Network traffic control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_traffic_control

    In computer networking, network traffic control is the process of managing, controlling or reducing the network traffic, particularly Internet bandwidth, e.g. by the network scheduler. [1] It is used by network administrators, to reduce congestion, latency and packet loss. This is part of bandwidth management.

  8. Network delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_delay

    Graphical depiction of contributions to network delay. Network delay is a design and performance characteristic of a telecommunications network. It specifies the latency for a bit of data to travel across the network from one communication endpoint to another. [1] [2]: 5 It is typically measured in multiples or fractions of a second. Delay may ...

  9. Wikipedia:Don't worry about performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Don't_worry_about...

    Particularly in the area of template design, optimising server performance is important, and it's frequently done by users with a great amount of impact. It's not very hard. I've done it myself from time to time, but it's best done by people with a knowledge of the templates in question and the articles they serve.
