Advanced Data Communication Spring 2010 Project 1
Due Date • March 19th, 2010
Synopsis • This is a preliminary project to learn a network simulator called NS2. The network simulator is a discrete-time event-driven simulator for network research, widely adopted by academia. You will create five network nodes. Three nodes (S1 to S3) are connected to node M which is in turn connected to node D. The source nodes S1 to S3 continuously send UDP packets of size L bytes to the destination node D thru the middle node M. The time interval between two consecutive packets from each source node is T msec. The link is a duplex link with R Mbps bandwidth and Zmsec delay. You will collect timely bandwidth usage of each UDP connection with 1 second interval for at least 60 seconds, and compare their bandwidths. You will select three (3) different sets of simulation parameters from the following table:
Team • You will form a group of 5 persons. Each group submits ONE copy of the project report, but each member completes a “Peer Rating” form and submits it to the instructor CONFIDENTIALLY.
Submission • You will submit a project report that follows the IEEE conference publication format. The report includes but is not limited to • the objective, • experiment methods, and • result analysis. • All text sources will be included as appendices, containing source files (tcl files) and configuration file if exists.
Simulator • You need access to an NS2 simulator for all projects during this semester. • If you have a Unix account from the School or your own Linux system, you can install a recent NS2. • Unfortunately, NS2 does not natively support MS Windows system. • To MS Windows, you can install Cygwin/X and then NS2.
