What is bottleneck? - a definition from Whatis.com |
 | | - A bottleneck, in a communications context, is a point in the enterprise where the flow of data is impaired or stopped entirely. |
 | | A bottleneck can occur in the user network or storage fabric or within servers where there is excessive contention for internal server resources, such as CPU processing power, memory, or I/O (input/output). |
 | | Bottlenecks are typically located by systematically testing network performance at various devices along a data path and isolating devices performing noticeably slower than other points. |
