“…From this table it is concluded that the backup router's performance is stable, no packets dropped and by comparing the performance with the main router [10] it is found that there was about 8% cut of the total input traffic load, that is due to the cut of the unnecessary station like the financial department to access the Internet, for example. This paper presented different network models for three General Hospitals.…”

Rising costs in healthcare, increased global competitions and rapid advances in networking and telecommunications promise to close the gaps between digital enterprising technologies and healthcare services delivery. Yet, end-to-end performance depends on applications, servers, and network relationships that are not always obvious. The research presented in this paper examines the requirements of E-health applications from a telecommunication point of view by studying end-to-end network performance within and between three hospitals in the CentralWest region of Ontario. First, a definition of traffic profiles and applications is established. Then, hospitals LANs are configured and simulated to support nominal and peak traffic loads.
