...Overview In this lab, we will compare the speed and accuracy of different traffic representations: explicit traffic, background traffic, and hybrid traffic. The network used in the lab is a model of a company that provides video-on-demand services to 100 users. The company would like to introduce three classes of service for its clients: gold (ToS = 3), silver (ToS = 2) and bronze (ToS = 1). To provide differentiated treatment for the different service classes, Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) has been configured on the access router. In this lab, we will predict the delay for each class of service and compare the results obtained using the different traffic modeling approaches. Objectives and Methodology * Create a simple network with explicit traffic and run a simulation. * Replace explicit traffic with background traffic and rerun the simulation. * Replace background traffic with hybrid traffic and rerun the simulation. * Assess and compare the speed and accuracy of the three traffic-modeling approaches. Explanation and Background In the real world, one of the most important jobs a network manager can do is manage the traffic on the network. If the traffic doesn’t flow, the network is not exactly a credit to its operators. In addition, we now deal with many different types of traffic that are particular to certain applications and architectures, the most obvious examples being voice and video traffic. In these applications, the number one demand is for low delay...

SimBio Virtual Labs®: EcoBeaker® The Barnacle Zone Background When we tell our kids about different species and where they live, we naturally start talking about weather and the physical environment. Camels are adapted to life in the desert and can go a long time without water. Polar bears live in the Arctic and are adapted to cold with their thick layers of insulation. A polar bear wouldn’t be very happy in the desert, and a camel would have a hard time in the Arctic (though a herd of camels pulling a sled over the ice is an amusing image). The underlying idea is that in order to be adapted to one environment, you necessarily give up the ability to live in other environments. But is this true for most species? Do species live where they do primarily because of their adaptations to the physical environment, or might the other species in the environment also be important? The intertidal zone of rocky coastlines makes an interesting natural laboratory in which...

...|Lesson Synopsis: | This unit develops an understanding of electrostatics by the use of demonstrations, simulations, and modeling. The general theme is that the current model of matter consisting of electrically neutral atoms composed of charged particles is integral to the understanding of electrical forces. The lesson begins with traditional activities of charging objects by friction and comparing electrostatic forces to magnetostatic forces. The traditional experiments are explained in terms of the model of an atom, and the “attract and repel force rules” are explored and expanded. Devices to create, store, and measure charge are utilized in experiments. The formal theory of Coulomb’s law is introduced, and problems are assigned utilizing that theory. Elements of the historical development of electrostatics and planetary model of the atom are researched, and students have an assignment describing contributions of historically important scientists. Additional concepts of electric fields, potential difference, and properties of conductors and insulators are developed through experiment, demonstration, and discussion. TEKS: |P.5 |The student knows the nature of forces in the physical world. The student is expected to: | |P.5A |Research and describe the historical development of...

...Lab 1: Evaluating Internet Connection Choices for a Small Home PC Network Objective This lab teaches the basics of using OPNET IT Guru. OPNET IT Guru’s user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop features enable students to effectively model, manage, and troubleshoot real-world network infrastructures. We investigate application performance and capacity planning, by changing the link speed between a home LAN and its ISP. Overview OPNET’s IT Guru provides a Virtual Network Environment that models the behavior of networks, including its routers, switches, protocols, servers, and individual applications. The Virtual Network Environment allows IT managers, network and system planners, and operation’s staff to more effectively diagnose difficult problems, validate changes before they are implemented, and plan for future scenarios such as traffic growth and network failures. You can do “what if” analyses (called scenarios in IT Guru) on network designs, just as you can on spreadsheets with financial business models. However, instead of looking at “bottom line” financial numbers, you will be looking at how response times, latency (delays) and other network performance measures will change under different network design approaches. To create a network simulation (called a project in IT Guru), you specify the nodes (computers, switches, routers, etc.) in your network, the links between nodes, and the applications that will be running on the nodes. In this exercise, the initial simulation...

...The Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) Future of Nursing report set a goal that eighty percent of the practicing nurses have a baccalaureate degree to meet the changes in the healthcare system by 2020. Over the last two classes my PICOT question has continued to develop, from a broad view to a more narrowed question of the use of simulation in addition to traditional lecture and clinical time. This writer is a nursing instructor of an Associate Degree Nursing program. Other than teaching in various clinical setting, my practice is in the classroom. This is the area that I will attempt to make and impact. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) professes that there will be a need of an additional one million nurses by 2020.

...NETW410 Week 1 Lab Report NETW410, Professor Current Date: 1/11/14 Lab 1: OPNET LAN Modeling Tutorial ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Week 1 iLab Report The first objective in the LAN Modeling tutorial is Setting Up the Scenario. The final step in setting up your scenario appears below. 1. (30 points) Once your project is created (after Step 6 above), your workspace will contain a map of the United States. Your project and scenario name can be seen in ITGuru’s top window border in the form of Project: <project name> Scenario: <scenario name>. Capture a screenshot of your new project workspace that clearly shows your project and scenario name, and paste it below. 2. (40 points) In college-level paragraph(s), describe how background traffic affects both e-mail data and VoIP data. In this week’s lab exercise, we had the opportunity to create a network simulation from the ground up using OpNet IT Guru. The purpose of the exercise was to gain familiarity with OpNet functions along with network objects and associated behavior based on the configuration of network variables. Some of these objects include Application Definitions, Profile Definitions, Subnets, and the various means of connecting these components in a topology. The lab exercise itself provided a foundation for creating a simulated environment that was focused on evaluating the impact of background link load...
