ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN BANDWIDTH, CPU, DAN RAM UNTUK AKSESIBILITAS SISTEM E-LEARNING

Abstract

Advances in communication technologies and computer networks are currently advancing. The advancement of communication technology and computer networks is required in all sectors, particularly education and academics in universities. An e-learning system is one of the technologies utilized by University of Maritim Raja Ali Haji. However, according to different comments expressed by UMRAH students via surveys on the e-learning system, the performance of the e-learning system is insufficient since resource needs such as bandwidth, CPU, and RAM are still inadequate. As a result, analysis is required to determine the requirements of each resource in order to optimize the performance of the e-learning system. The study was carried out with the help of a support tool, Webserver Stress Tool 8, and test scenarios of 100, 150, 250, 300, 450, 500, 600, 750, 900, 1000, 1500, and 2000 user requests to the server. The analysis results show that the average bandwidth requirement with a small data transfer rate is found at a load of 1500 user requests reaching 1871,82 Mbps, so that requests for access to e-learning system pages are slow, the highest average CPU usage is found at a load of 1500 user requests with a percentage reaching 95,3 percent, and the highest RAM usage is found at a load of 1500 user requests. The maximum limit of servers responding at the time of testing is 2000 users with 10 clicks.
