Lab 11

Title:
Comprehend, Measure and Display Network Performance Parameters using OPNET.

Objectives:
 Describe the use of OPNET.
 Display and measure the performance of different implementations of LAN connected by switches.

Introduction:

OPNET
OPNET is a network simulation tool. It can be used to simulate the behavior and performance of any type of
network. It is a tool specialized for network research and development. It allows designing and studying of
communication devices, networks, protocols and applications. It also provides a detailed modeling tool. One
can model the behavior of the entire network, including its routers, switches, servers, protocols and
applications as OPNET provides a Virtual Network Environment. Easy mapping is possible to the real system
since all components are modeled in an object-oriented approach.

Advantages of OPNET

 Portable models.
 Models can be shared among different platforms.
 Graphical editor interface
 Flexible.
 Powerful tool.
 Full control of models.

Methodology:

1. Create empty project.


2. Create empty scenario.
3. Create initial Topology using object palette.
4. Configure the Rapid Configuration .
5. Apply changes in parameters (Traffic Generation Parameters & Packet Generation
Arguments).
6. Choose the Statistics you want to investigate.
7. Run the simulation simultaneously using Manage Scenarios.
8. Change Results from collect to recollect.
9. Analyze the Results.

Conclusion:

Aisha Khan (FA17-BCE-081)


From this lab, I came to know about OPNET software and how a network is implemented on it.
Measured and comprehend crucial network performance parameters and different
implementations of LAN connected by the switches using OPNET. It provides a flexible platform to
test solutions and new ideas at low cost.
