The tool itself is highly useful in that it provides a virtual environment for an assortment of desirable features such as modeling a network based on specified criteria and predicting its performance. One method for making this information "stick" is done by creating an environment where networking professionals and students can visualize how networks work, utilizing a software tool that simulates the functions within a network. Networking technologies and concepts are often difficult to explain, even through careful description and well thought out examples. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
*Instructors can download the solutions manual to the exercises in the Network Simulation Experiments Manual by clicking on the "Instructors" resource link in the upper right corner of the screen and searching for author "Aboelela." *Covers the core networking topologies and includes assignments on the ethernet, token rings, ATM, Switched LANs, Network Design, RIP, TCP, Queuing Disciplines, QoS, etc. *Useful experimentation for professionals in the workplace who are interested in learning & demonstrating the capability of evaluating different commercial networking products, i.e., Cisco routers. *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. *Written by an instructor who has used OPNET simulation tools in his classroom for numerous demonstrations and real-world scenarios. Windows 2000 (Service Pack 1 and 2 are supported but not required) Microsoft Windows NT (Service Pack 3, 5, or 6a) The English language version of the following operating systems are supported: Display: 1024 x 768 or higher resolution, 256 or more colors Intel Pentium III, 4 or compatible (500 MHz or better) System requirements for using the OPNET IT Guru Academic Edition release 9.1: The experiments also follows the organization of Computer Networks, Third Edition, by Larry Peterson and Bruce Davie. Various scenarios are presented within each topology, and review questions and a lab report exercise accompany each lab experiment.
These labs run through simulations closely tied to the material in the text so that you can visualize the discussions covering core network topologies. It provides networking professionals with the option of implementing experiments from their homes or workplaces and the lab manual comes with directions for downloading the free easy-to-install software (special version to this book only-see system requirements below). 9), a network simulation tool that was originally developed at M.I.T.
The lab exercises contained in the network simulation experiments manual are based on the OPNET simulator (v.
