# 1.3 Research Scope

The scope of this research is centered on computer networks, specifically focusing on the factors affecting bottleneck process flow under different traffic conditions. The study will consider various types of networks, including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and cloud-based networks. Additionally, the research will explore the impacts of different traffic patterns, such as periodic spikes in demand, sustained high traffic loads, and fluctuating traffic levels.
