...NETW320 -- Converged Networks with Lab Lab #4 Title: IPv4 TOS and Router Queuing – Cont. Procedure Start OPNET IT Guru Open the scenario 1. Select File/Open. 2. Select Computer or My Computer (depending on your O/S). You may also need to allow Citrix access to your computer. 3. On your F: drive, open the op_models and then open the NETW320 folder. 4. Open the Lab2_RouterTOS.project 5. Click on Lab2_RouterTOS.prj 6. Click Open. The project should open. 7. Choose Scenarios > Switch To Scenario > FIFO Configure the Simulation Run 1. We are now ready to configure the Simulation Run. Select the Configuration/Run Discrete Event Simulation tab (the running man) from the tool bar. The following screen will open. 2. Set the Duration to 4 (if it is not set) and change hour(s) to minute(s). 3. Click Apply and Cancel. 4. Go to File > Save, to save your configuration. 5. Before we duplicate the scenarios, now would be a good time to run the first simulation to ensure we have all the configurations made correctly. Once we copy them over to the PQ and WFQ scenarios, if something is configured incorrectly, that mistake will be transferred over. 6. Select the running man icon again to bring up the Configuration/Run Discrete Event Simulation panel again and click Run. The Simulation Execution window will open and the sim will start. 7. When the Sim completes and the Close window lights, click it to end. 8. We are now ready to look at the results. From the tool...

...NETW320 -- Converged Networks with Lab Lab # 2 Title: Silent Suppression – Cont. Procedure Start OPNET Modeler Open the scenario 1. Select File/Open. 2. Select Project. 3. Open your f: drive. (Note: If you don’t see drive F: listed, you click on “My Computer or “Computer” first.) 4. Open your op_models directory. 5. Open your NETW 320 directory. 6. Open the Lab1_Silent.project folder. 7. Click on Lab1_Silent.prj. 8. Click OK. The project should open. 9. Choose Scenarios > Switch to Scenario > Silent_Suppression. Results analysis 1. We are now ready to look at the results. From the tool bar, select DES > Results > View Results. 2. The Results Browser will appear. You may have to expand the items in the top left panel and click on them to get Global Statistics to appear in the bottom left panel. 3. Expand Global Statistics and select the following (4) statistics: Expand Select DB Query Response Time (sec) HTTP Page Response Time (sec) E-mail Download Response Time (sec) Voice Packet End-to-End Delay (sec) 4. You can adjust the size of the panels as you wish by hovering the cursor over the panel border until it changes to the adjust line cursor, and then hold the left mouse button to set the panel size. 5. Change the view from As Is to Time Average using the dropdown menu on the lower right-hand side. Remember, your results may not be exactly the same but they should be very similar. 6. Click Show.

...NETW320, Patrick Price 5/18/2014 Lab #2, Silent Suppression Lab Report 1. On the Results Browser, make sure you are on Current Project so you have both sets of results. Expand DB Query and Select DB Query Response Time (sec). Hit the Show button. Zoom into the last half portion of the graph for better granularity and to avoid start up oscillation time to stabilize. Copy and label this graph to your lab report and answer the following: 1. Which run has a better (lower) DB Query Response time? This shows the silent suppression has a lower db time. 2. In regard to your answer to part a, approximate how much faster (in seconds or milliseconds) of a response time the better scenario has. Its .22 seconds faster. 2. Expand E-mail and select Download Response Time (sec). Select Show and zoom into the last half portion of the graph for better granularity and to avoid start up oscillation time to stabilize. Copy and label this graph to your lab report and answer the following: 3. Which run has a better (lower) e-mail Download Response time? Again it’s the silent suppression that had a email response. 4. In regard to your answer to part a, approximate how much faster (in seconds or milliseconds) of a response time the better scenario has. It was .4 seconds faster. 3. Expand HTTP and s elect Page Response Time (sec). Select Show and zoom into the last half portion of the graph for better granularity and to avoid start up oscillation time to stabilize...

...NETW320 -- Converged Networks with Lab Lab #3 Title: IPv4 TOS and Router Queuing Objectives In this lab, you will work with an intranet for an organization that will encompass four different site locations in different cities. The subnets of these locations will be connected by a backbone IP network. The organization will be using a converged network that allows data and real-time voice traffic to traverse the same packet-switched network. The data traffic will consist of FTP (file transfer protocol) and email traffic and the voice traffic will be a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) implementation. You will experiment with various router queuing policies to see how routers within a TCP/IP network can be utilized to support QoS (Quality of Service) within a converged network that is based on TCP/IP. Explanation and Background Traditional voice and data applications have been kept on separate networks. The voice traffic is confined to a circuit-switched network while data traffic is on a packet-switched network. Often, businesses keep these networks in separate rooms, or on different floors, within buildings that they own or lease (and many still do). This requires a lot of additional space and technical manpower to maintain these two distinct infrastructures. Today’s networks call for the convergence of these circuit-switching and packet-switching networks, such that voice and data traffic will traverse a common network based on packet switching. A common WAN technology...

...Cedric Clinton NETW320 Professor: Steve Gonzales Lab Report week2 1. On the Results Browser, make sure you are on Current Project so you have both sets of results. Expand DB Query and Select DB Query Response Time (sec). Hit the Show button. Zoom into the last half portion of the graph for better granularity and to avoid start up oscillation time to stabilize. Copy and label this graph to your lab report and answer the following: 1.) Which run has a better (lower) DB Query Response time? The scenario that runs the silence suppression (red line on my lab) has the best DB query response time. 2.) In regard to your answer to part a, approximate how much faster (in seconds or milliseconds) of a response time the better scenario has. The faster scenario that runs silence suppression is approximately 0.2 seconds faster. 2. Expand E-mail and select Download Response Time (sec). Select Show and zoom into the last half portion of the graph for better granularity and to avoid start up oscillation time to stabilize. Copy and label this graph to your lab report and answer the following: 3.) Which run has a better (lower) e-mail Download Response time? The scenario that runs the silence suppression (red line on my lab) has the lower email download response time. 4.) In regard to your answer to part a, approximate how much faster (in seconds or milliseconds) of a response time the better scenario has. The scenario that runs silence suppression is approximately...
