Networking technologies and concepts are often difficult to
explain, even through careful description and well thought out
examples. One method for making this information "stick" is to
create an environment where networking professionals and students
can visualize how networks work by utilizing a software tool that
simulates the functions within a network. The tool provides a
virtual environment for an assortment of desirable features such as
modeling a network based on specified criteria and predicting its
performance.
"The Network Simulation Experiments Manual" takes this
instructional tool a step further and provides detailed experiments
on core networking topologies for use in this simulation
environment. Various scenarios are presented within each topology:
Review questions, suggested readings, a lab report, and exercises
accompanying each assignment. The manual also comes with directions
for downloading the free and easy-to-install OPNET IT Guru Academic
Edition software. This software provides a virtual environment for
modeling, analyzing, and predicting the performance of IT
infrastructures, including applications, servers, and networking
technologies. Prepared by Professor Emad Aboelela of the Taibah
University, Saudi Arabia, the experiments in the manual are closely
tied to the organization of "Computer Networks: A Systems Approach,
Fifth Edition" and, when used together, serve as a complete tool
for understanding how and why computer networks function as they
do.
*Updated and expanded by aninstructor who has used OPNET simulation
tools in his classroom for numerous demonstrations and real-world
scenarios.
* Software download based on an award-winning product made by OPNET
Technologies, Inc., whose software is used by thousands of
commercial and government organizations worldwide, and by over 500
universities.
*Useful experimentation for professionals in the workplace who are
interested in learningand demonstrating the capability of
evaluating different commercial networking products, i.e., Cisco
routers.
*Covers the core networking topologies and includes assignments on
Switched LANs, Network Design, CSMA, RIP, TCP, Queuing Disciplines,
Web Caching, etc."
