ADVANTAGES OF SIMULATION
OPNET MODELER
OPNET
provides graphical editors to you to edit your own devices, configure your own networks, design your own protocols, define your own packet formats, etc.
OPNET WORKFLOW
Choose statistics
Run simulation
EDITORS
Network Editor
Specify network topology and configure nodes and links. Choose results, run simulations and view results
EDITORS (CONT..)
Node Editor
Create models of nodes by specifying internal structure and capabilities Create your own devices
EDITORS (CONT..)
Process Editor
Develop models of decision-making processes representing protocols, algorithms, resource management, operating systems, etc.
EDITORS (CONT..)
Link Model Editor Path Editor Packet Format Editor PDF Editor etc
Project-and-Scenario approach to modeling network Project: Collection of related network scenarios. Scenario: is a single instance of the network. It represents a unique configuration of the network.
Duplicate scenario Make changes Re-run simulation Compare results ((Iterate the last three steps until you have good results))
An object palette is a graphical dialog box that displays a group of nodes and link models. Object palettes can be customized to contain only the nodes and links that we need.
CHOOSE STATISTICS
Edit attributes Choose individual statistics Check the statistics that you need.
SIMULATION
Select Duration, Seed, other Attributes Run the Simulation View Graphs produced Analyze
