Abstract : Optimizing computer networks is essential to ensure fast, reliable, and secure connectivity for students, faculty, and administrative staff. Such optimization enhances the overall user experience by meeting specific objectives, including improved transmission speed, reduced latency, and efficient bandwidth utilization. A well-optimized network guarantees the seamless operation of applications, facilitates information exchange, and ensures timely access to digital resources. This article investigates user activities within the computer network, the management of data flow, and the corresponding user requirements. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and oral interviews with members of the École Normale Supérieure d’Ampefiloha community. The analysis, conducted using SPSS statistical software, enabled the classification of users according to their network usage patterns and highlighted the significance of network optimization in mitigating bandwidth saturation and maintaining fluid data traffic.

Keywords : Optimization, Network Management, Computer Science, Digital Resources, Bandwidth, Latency.
