Out-Network Traffic Terms: a Case Study in LinkedIn

Terms in the use of LinkedIn, as one of the important elements in this website will serve an important role in regulating the flow of traffic. The study of the integration of these terms can be a significant step to avoid congestion and (Users’) rejection in the network. Integration of Traffic Control Terms (TCT) between LinkedIn and other social networks is one of the best solutions to establish consequent traffic flow out of the network. Depending on the conditions, integration can be done in different ways. This article examines the direct pass and indirect pass methods. Node phase differences are key elements for integration of LinkedIn considered in this review. To calculate the optimal phasing and appropriate phase difference, first the status of a user in LinkedIn has been analyzed using software, and then the results have been simulated by charting. In this article, the Integration of TCT was done based on evaluation of the TCT performance through determining the appropriate phase differences and reference rule and calculating the measurement of Latency (LT) in the main network port. This latency was calculated as the difference of the expected time and real time of connection or login to the network in simulated conditions. The achieved results indicate that in unsaturated conditions using indirect pass method and in saturated conditions, due to rejection of user and inability of network TCT, using indirect pass method is the best choice for integration of the TCT for LinkedIn and other social networks.
