CREDITS – 02 Course objectives: This course will enable students to: • Choose suitable tools to model a network and understand the protocols at various OSI reference levels. • Design a suitable network and simulate using a Network simulator tool. • Simulate the networking concepts and protocols using C/C++ programming. • Model the networks for different configurations and analyze the results. Laboratory Experiments PART-A: Simulation experiments using NS2/ NS3/ OPNET/ NCTUNS/ NetSim/ QualNet/ Packet Tracer or any other equivalent tool
1. Implement a point to pint network with four nodes and duplex links between them. Analyze the network performance by setting the queue size and varying the bandwidth. 2. Implement a four node point to point network with links n0-n2, n1-n2 and n2-n3. Apply TCP agent between n0-n3 and UDP between n1-n3. Apply relevant applications over TCP and UDP agents changing the parameter and determine the number of packets sent by TCP/UDP. 3. Implement Ethernet LAN using n (6-10) nodes. Compare the throughput by changing the error rate and data rate. 4. Implement Ethernet LAN using n nodes and assign multiple traffic to the nodes and obtain congestion window for different sources/ destinations. 5.
