LAB REPORT GUIDELINES
Formal lab reports should be typed on A4 paper and contain the following sections and dont
exceed the limit of the length.
Title Page:
Title of the experiment,
Authors name and student number.
Your instructor's name.
The date the report was submitted.
Aims and objectives
What was the purpose of the experiment? What was it supposed to reveal?
Introduction/Theory
The introduction should give some background on the problem your experiment investigated.
Theory section presents theoretical models, equations, physical principles, etc., that are
relevant to the investigation described in the report. It should be within one page.
Materials
List everything needed to complete your experiment.
Methods/Procedure
Describe the steps you completed during your investigation. Dont simply copy the
instructions given in the lab manual. You need to describe what YOU did. Make good use of
diagrams, sketches, or photographs to show important layout, wiring and connections
Experimental Results and explanations
Present your results and summarise the data using figures and tables. Each figure and each
table must have a number and a caption. Do not simply dump a bunch of graphs and tables
into this section with no explanation. It is best to locate figures and tables within the text (and
preferably on the same page where they are referred to) rather than grouping them together at
the end of the report.
Discussion
Discuss the meaning and importance of the experimental results, compare the results to
theoretical predictions, describe the accuracy of the results, address discrepancies, and
ultimately draw conclusions in regards to the objectives of the experiment.
Conclusions and Recommendations
This section summarizes the conclusions that have been made and gives specific
recommendations for the next steps that could be taken in subsequent experiments or further
research.

Lab 1: Internet Connect for Home Network
RIVERBED MODELER
LAB 1: INTERNET CONNECT FOR HOME

NETWORK
Objective
This lab teaches the basics of using RIVERBED MODELER. We investigate application
performance and capacity planning, by changing the link speed between a home LAN and its ISP.
Overview
RIVERBED MODELER provides a Virtual Network Environment that models the behaviour of
networks, including its routers, switches, protocols, servers, and individual applications. The
Virtual Network Environment allows IT managers, network and system planners, and operations
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) 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), 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 (project) has been built for you. It models a familys home PC
network, which has three PCs connected to the Internet for game playing; web browsing, E-mail,
audio streaming, and FTP (file transfer protocol).
Your objective will be to conduct a series of what-if simulations (scenarios) to see how
performance differs if the family connects to the Internet using
1) a slow modem downloading at 20 kbps,
2) a fast modem downloading at 40 kbps,
3) a cable modem or DSL line downloading at 512 kbps, or
4) a T1 line (discussed in Chapter 6) with download speed of 1.544 Mbps
For each scenario, you will set the download speed in the simulation model, run a simulation, and
Edited by Ya Bao

RIVERBED MODELER
view the results. You will be addressing the question of whether faster connections are worth
higher prices for the home network.
Lab Instructions
Step 1: Open Lab file
RIVERBED MODELER consists of projects and scenarios. Each scenario represents the different
what-if analysis performed by the users. Scenarios may contain different versions of the same
network or models of different networks. A project consists of one or more network scenarios. In
this lab, you will create 4 different scenarios comparing application performance with different
connection speeds to the ISP.
1. Start Reverbed Modeler.

2. Select File Open and make sure Project is selected from the pull-down menu at the
top.
3. Scroll down to the project named Home_LAN, select it and click OK.

RIVERBED MODELER
The figure above shows the simulated network.

There are three PCs doing different tasks in this network. Each PC connects to the familys 100
Mbps Ethernet switch via a UTP connection. The switch connects to the router, also via UTP. The
cable modem is not shown; it is implicit in the WAN link connecting the home PC network to the
Internet. Three Internet servers provide different services to the client PCs.
Near the top of the figure are two boxes that do not represent physical components: Applications
and Profiles. The Applications node contains data about the applications used in the network, such
as Web browsing. More specifically, traffic is associated with each application, so there is a
difference between light Web browsing and heavy Web browsing. Internal file service and
print service traffic are not shown; these would be too light to make a difference in performance
because the Internet WAN connection is the weak link in this network. In the Profiles icon,
different applications are associated with different PCs.
The complete topology is laid out and the attributes for all the objects are pre- configured except
the link data rate between the Router and the Internet cloud, this is our WAN link.
Step 2: Configure the Link to 20 Kbps
In your first scenario, you will configure the WAN link as a 20 kbps dial-up line.
1. Right-click on the WAN link, select Edit Attributes.
Here we can see the different link attributes. We will be changing the data rate attribute of this
link.
Edited by Ya Bao
Page
RIVERBED MODELER
2. Click in the Value field of the data rate attribute and select Edit
3. Enter 20000; press Enter and then click OK.
Step 3: Configure and Run the Simulation
To simulate this network, we will use high fidelity discrete event simulation. The model simulates
client/server application packets, which represent real world network traffic.
1. Click on the configure/run simulation button.
2. Make sure the Simulation Duration is set to 8 hours to represent a typical day.
3. Click Run, monitor the progress bar as the simulation proceeds.
4. When the simulation completes, Click Close.
Step 4: View Results

We can now view various statistics including the web application Response Time experienced by
the Researcher and the WAN link utilization. Follow the instructions below to view the statistics.
Performance for the WAN link
1. Right-click on the WAN link and select View Results to view the utilization results for this
link.
2. Expand point-to-point and select utilization in both directions.

3. Select Overlaid Statistics from the pull-down menu on the bottom right- hand corner to place the

RIVERBED MODELER
results in the same panel.
4. Select Show and then click Close in the View Results window.
Performance for PC2 (Researcher PC)
5. Right-click on the PC2 Researcher client and select View Results to view the web Response
Time and Traffic Received.
6. Expand Client Http and select Page Response Time (seconds). Also make sure that the pulldown menu on the bottom right-hand corner is set to As Is.
7. Click Close in the View Results window.
8. You can use the hide or show all graphs button
Edited by Ya Bao
to hide/show the graphs.
Page
RIVERBED MODELER
Your results should be similar to the graphs above. The download link Utilization averages about
80% and the upload link Utilization about 2%. With a download link utilization of 80%, this does
not give much available bandwidth for potential new applications or users. The Response Time that
the Researcher experiences is in the range of 5 to 7.5 seconds, which is painfully long. This slow
WAN link is badly overloaded.
Step 5: 40 kbps Scenario
Implement a fast modem connection downloading at 40 Kbps. This is realistic throughput for a
modem whose download speed is rated at 56 Kbps.
1. Select Scenarios Duplicate Scenario and name the scenario as
40K_dialup_connection.
2. Click OK. This creates a copy of the existing scenario.
Step 6: Configure the Link to 40 Kbps

Right-click on the WAN link and change the data rate attribute to 40000.
Step 7: Run the 40 Kbps Simulation

Rerun the simulation. You can refer to the steps given previously for setting the duration and
running the simulation.
Step 8: View Results for 40Kbps Scenario

Follow the same steps mentioned before to view the link utilization, and
Response Time by the researcher PC.
Edited by Ya Bao
Page
RIVERBED MODELER
Notice, that the link Utilization is reduced by half.

The web application Response Time also went down from about 6 seconds to around 2.25
seconds. This is a significant improvement, both, in Utilization and Response Time.
Step 9: Set the link to 512 Kbps and run the simulation
In the third scenario, you will simulate a 512 kbps download speed. This is a realistic downloading
throughput for a cable modem or DSL line. This WAN connection
Duplicate the scenario as before and name it 512K_Cable_Modem_connection.

Set the data rate for the WAN link to 512000.
Rerun the simulation.

View the results for link utilization, Response Time and Traffic Received by the
Researcher PC.
Edited by Ya Bao
Page
RIVERBED MODELER
The Utilization went down to 4% and the Response Time for the Researcher went down to
0.15 seconds. The cable modem improves our download times greatly. Response time is very
good.
Step 10: Configure the link to T1 line and run the simulation
The ISP also provides residential T1 connection. T1 lines, offer a rated speed of 1.544 Mbps in
both directions. This is also its actual throughput. The fourth scenario will consider the benefits of
using a T1 WAN link to the ISP.
Duplicate the scenario again and name it T1_connection.
Change the data rate of the WAN link to T1 from the pull-down menu.
Rerun the simulation.
Step 11: Compare Results
Rather than viewing the results for the T1 link alone, let us compare the results of Utilization and
Response Times for all the 4 scenarios. This will give us a broader picture of the effect of
changing the data rate.
1. Select Results Compare Results

2. To compare the utilization statistics, choose the following statistics:
3. Make sure that All Scenarios is select.

RIVERBED MODELER
4. Click Show. To compare the Response Time, unselect the previous statistics, change the filter on
the right-hand bottom corner from As Is to average and then choose the following statistics:
Here are the results
Edited by Ya Bao
Page
RIVERBED MODELER
We can see from these results that as the data rate increases from 20K to 40K to 512K, the
Utilization becomes better. Also the Web Application response time becomes better.
However, the Response Time and Utilization do not get affected much by changing the data rate
from 512K to T1 line. For the current number of users, the T1 connection does not offer much
benefit. This shows that upgrading to a T1 link will not be economically feasible with the
performance improvement that it gives.
Further research
So far, every scenario had step-by-step instructions. Now, here are some advanced scenarios for you
to run.
Advanced Scenario 1. Many statistics are being collected like the throughput and the
queuing delay on the WAN link. View these 2 results for the four scenarios and prepare
a brief report of your observation.
Advanced Scenario 2. Create a duplicate scenario. Change the data rate of the WAN link
between the Router and the ISP to get an average response time of 1 sec. (Hint: From the
results, we can see that the data rate might fall between 40 Kbps and 512 Kbps.) What
WAN speed did your find to give this response time?
Advanced Scenario 3. There is continuous streaming between the music server and PC1

RIVERBED MODELER
defined by a traffic demand object. You can view this object by selecting View
Demand Objects Show All in the menu. Try changing the Traffic volume for this
demand. (Hint: Edit the Traffic (packets/sec) and Traffic (bits/sec) attributes of the
Demand Object.) Observe its effect on the web response time for the researcher. Briefly
describe the data values you changed and the impact on the researcher.
Advanced Scenario 4. What would happen if there were FIVE more PCs? Select and
Copy the Researcher PC. Then paste the PC. Copy more PCs in the similar manner.
Connect these FIVE PCs to the switch by copying and pasting the links connecting the
first researcher PC and the switch. Run the simulation and see view the web Response
Times of each of these PCs for all the data rates. What did you find?
Advanced Scenario 5. Here is a harder task. Add more applications to the researcher
PC and check the response time that it gets. (Hint: To add applications to a client, you
need to edit the attributes of the Profile object and edit the Profile Configuration.)

servers.
Fig. 1 Network Overview

2. Local Area Network
Local area network (LAN) is a communication network that interconnects a variety of
devices and provides a means for information exchange among those devices. The
scope of a LAN is small, typically a single building or a cluster of buildings. It is
usually the case LAN is owned by the same organization that owns the attached
devices. Network management responsibility for a LAN falls solely on the user. The
internal data rates of LANs are typically much greater than those of WANs.
3. Lab Description
Scenario consists of 3 subnets connected with each other by switch using 100BaseT
wire. First and Second Subnet belongs to IT and Finance Department respectively
while third one is for server.

LAB 8. PACKET TRACER TUTORIAL MATERIALS

Next stage of the work is individual work on Packet Tracer software simulation of an extended
network from what you have constructed.
Lab 1. Learn to Use CISCO Packet Tracer

Cisco Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation program that allows students to
experiment with network behaviour and ask what if questions.
Objectives
Develop an understanding of the basic functions of Packet Tracer.

Create/model a simple Ethernet network using two hosts and a hub.
Observe traffic behaviour on the network.
Observe data flow of ARP broadcasts and pings.
Hint: To ensure that the instructions always remain visible during an activity, click the "Top"
check box in the lower left-hand corner of this instruction window.
Step 1: Create a logical network diagram with two PCs and a hub
The bottom left-hand corner of the Packet Tracer screen displays nine icons that represent
device categories or groups, such as Routers, Switches, or End Devices.
Moving the cursor over the device categories will show the name of the category in the box.
To select a device, first select the device category. Once the device category is selected, the
options within that category appear in the box next to the category listings. Select the device
option that is required.
1. Select End Devices from the options in the bottom left-hand corner. Drag and drop
two generic PCs onto the design area.
Edited by Ya Bao
Page

2. Select Hubs from the options in the bottom left-hand corner. Add a hub to the
prototype network by dragging and dropping a generic hub onto the design area.
3. Select Connections from the bottom left-hand corner. Choose a Copper Straightthrough cable type. Click the first host, PC0, and assign the cable to the
FastEthernet connector. Click the hub, Hub0, and select a connection port, Port 0, to
connect to PC0.
4. Repeat Step c for the second PC, PC1, to connect the PC to Port 1 on the hub. *There
should be green dots at both ends of each cable connection. If not, check the cable
type selected.
Step 2: Configure host names and IP addresses on the PCs
1. Click PC0. A PC0 window will appear.
2. From the PC0 window, select the Config tab. Change the PC Display Name to PC-A.
(An error message window will appear warning that changing the device name may
affect scoring of the activity. Ignore this error message.) Select the FastEthernet tab
on the left and add the IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of255.255.255.0.
Close the PC-A configuration window by selecting the x in the upper right-hand
corner.
3. Click PC1.
4. Select the Config tab. Change the PC Display Name to PC-B. Select the
FastEthernet tab on the left and add the IP address of 192.168.1.2 and subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0. Close the PC-B configuration window.
Step 3: Observe the flow of data from PC-A to PC-B by creating network traffic
1. Switch to Simulation mode by selecting the tab that is partially hidden behind the
Realtime tab in the bottom right-hand corner. The tab has the icon of a stopwatch on
it.
2. Click the Edit Filters button in the Event List Filters area. Clicking the Edit Filters
button will create a pop-up window. In the pop-up window, click the Show All/None
box to deselect every filter. Select just the ARP and ICMP filters.
3. Select a Simple PDU by clicking the closed envelope on the right vertical toolbar.
Move your cursor to the display area of your screen. Click PC-A to establish the
source. Move your cursor to PC-B and click to establish the destination.

4. Notice that two envelopes are now positioned beside PC-A. One envelope is ICMP,
while the other is ARP. The Event List in the Simulation Panel will identify exactly
which envelope represents ICMP and which represents ARP.
5. Select Auto Capture / Play from the Play Controls area of the Simulation Panel.
Below the Auto Capture / Play
button is a horizontal bar, with a
vertical button that controls the speed
of the simulation. Dragging the button
to the right will speed up the
simulation, while dragging it to the
left will slow down the simulation.
6. The animation will run until the message window No More Events appears. All
requested events have been completed.
7. Choose the Reset Simulation button in the Simulation Panel. Notice that the ARP
envelope is no longer present. This has reset the simulation but has not cleared any
configuration changes or dynamic table entries, such as ARP table entries. The ARP
request is not necessary to complete the ping command because PC-A already has the
MAC address in the ARP table.
8. Choose the Capture / Forward button. The ICMP envelope will move from the
source to the hub and stop. The Capture / Forward button allows you to run the
simulation one step at a time. Continue selecting the Capture / Forward button until
you complete the event.
9. Choose the Power Cycle Devices button on the bottom left, above the device icons.
10. An error message will appear asking you to confirm reset. Choose Yes. Now both the
ICMP and ARP envelopes are present again.
11. Resetting the Network
Whenever you want to reset the network and begin the simulation again, perform the
following tasks:
Click Delete in the PDU area.

OK when the No More Events message appears.
2. Select the magnifying glass on the right vertical tool bar.
3. Click PC-A. The ARP table for PC-A will appear. Notice that PC-A does have an ARP
entry for PC-B. View the ARP table for PC-B. Close all ARP table windows.
4. Click Select Tool on the right vertical tool bar. (This is the first icon present in the
toolbar.)
5. Click PC-A and select the Desktop tab.
6. Select the Command Prompt and type the command arp -a and press enter to view the
ARP table from the desktop view. Close the PC-A configuration window.
7. Examine the ARP table for PC-B.

5. A successful ping indicates the network was configured correctly and the prototype
validates the hardware and software configurations. A successful ping should
resemble the below output:
PC>ping 192.168.10.11
Pinging 192.168.10.11 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.10.11: bytes=32 time=170ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 192.168.10.11:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 68ms, Maximum = 170ms, Average = 94ms
6. Close the configuration window.
Step 3: use the ping command Test connectivity from PC1 to PC0

Design, draw and configure a network with 8 subnets (fill in the Network design table) using:
2 routers, 3 switches, 3 hubs, 2 servers and 2 printers in each subnet, and 12 PCs.
Use the simulation mode by sending some messages at the same time between PCs, and notice how
messages collide if the network is not segmented using switches and routers.
Determine the number of collision and broadcast domains.
Write down all the details of this network design (network address, subnet mask, subnet addresses,
address range of each subnet, Network broadcast address, broadcast address in each subnet).
Save your design as lab5diagram1.pkt, in your flash memory for future use.
