Network design and modelling 3 ects

Objectives: Student is capable to plan and carry out simulations of computer networks with modern simulation system.

Contents: : Introduction to network design and modeling and network simulation

in general and with the OPNET IT Guru and Modeler tools. Abstracting real

networks; traffic generation: importing traffic from real networks and using

probability density functions; choosing "relevant" parameters; analyzing and

interpreting results.

Using different node and application models; building up different

topologies; implementing simulation projects using different protocols, e.g.

different TCP flavors, STP and IP QoS simulations (using active queuing and

different scheduling algorithms).
