A significant feature of bandwidth monitoring
structure is the excellent delivery of internet facilities
with larger data rates and bigger coverage. Existing
research on bandwidth monitoring focused on pattern
tracking, health monitoring, and the performance of
numerous physical communication interfaces, amongst
others. However, these researches were not Energysaving and cost-reduction in reducing the overhead
energy cost of bandwidth monitoring by which internet
users achieve their goals to the background. This research
was aimed at developing an Energy-saving and costreduction bandwidth monitoring model. These techniques
had two stages which are network traffic observation and
Bandwidth consumption analysis stages of bandwidth
monitoring. Data collection for this research based on
bandwidth monitoring using the Paessler Router Traffic
Grapher (PRTG) network monitoring software was done
at a network operating centre in South-Western Nigeria.
The data collected comprised 8,673 records of bandwidth
monitored metrics such as Date/Time of bandwidth
monitoring, Network traffic volume (of end-to-end
connectivity), Network traffic speed (from source to
destination and vice-versa), Network downtime, and
coverage. The model was formulated using bandwidth
optimization (BO) techniques while the data collected
were coupled with three algorithms: FUE-sub-channel
matching algorithm (FSMA), Joint sub-channel and
power allocations algorithm (JSPA), and integrated
structure cabling system algorithm (ISCSA). The
proposed algorithm was used to formulate the monitoring
model using the PRTG monitoring tool. A new
mathematical equation was formulated from the model
for the integration of Anti-Meridian (AM) / PrimeMeridian (PM) Timer relays and the Normally-Open
(NO)/Normally-closed (NC) switches for Energy-saving
and cost-reduction to design the monitoring model. When
the existing algorithms were compared to the proposed
bandwidth monitoring model, the proposed model
generated a higher success rate with a maximum of 50
wireless routers capacity
