DESCRIPTION:
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. 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. Various scenarios
Jay M. said Five Stars. Great!. OPNET is not Riverbed Andrew With the software from the Opnet site - this is a great resource. I think the hard cover book would be a good addition to this workbook.. D. Engel said Outdated. Useless. Waste of Time.. Very outdated for the current Academic version of the software. You can find updated PDFs for the latest software version online for free by doing a Google search. I wouldn't recommend this book. In fact, I'm going to burn mine, because I wasted hours trying to work through labs in this manual until I found the new ones.
In addition, the book covers congestion control algorithms implemented by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP); the effects of various queuing disciplines on packet delivery and delay for different services; the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP); and the role of firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs) in providing security to shared public networks. The experiments include the basics of using OPNET IT Guru Academic Edition; operation of the Ethernet network; partitioning of a physical network into separate logical networks using virtual local area networks (VLANs); and the basics of network design. Network Simulation Experiments Manual, Third Edition, contains simulation-based experiments to help students and professionals learn about key concepts in computer networking. *Covers the core networking topologies and includes assignments on Switched LANs, Network Design, CSMA, RIP, TCP, Queuing Disciplines, Web Caching, etc.. The simulation approach provides a virtual environment for a wide range of desirable features, such as modeling a network based on specified criteria and analyzing its performance under different scenarios. *Updated and expanded by an instructor who has used OPNET simulation tools in his classroom for numerous dem
