COURSE DESCRIPTION
This lab covers an in-depth knowledge about the Network Simulation using NS2 and cisco packet tracer –
and analyzing the Network simulation Performance.

PREREQUISITES
 Knowledge on basic programming

COURSE OBJECTIVES

This laboratory exercises are designed to give students ability to design, build, and analyze the Computer
Network Protocols.

PART-A

Implement the programs using Network Simulator -2

1. Simulate a point-to-point network with duplex link as follows: n0-n2, n1-n2 and n2-n3. Apply TCP
agent between n0-n3 and UDP agent between n1-n3. Apply relevant applications over TCP and UDP
agents. Set the queue size to 5 and vary the bandwidth to find number of packets dropped and
received by TCP and UDP agents using awk script and grep command.
2. Set up the network topology as shown in fig 1. Simulate different type of internet traffic
Such as traffic using FTP between the nodes n1 – n6 and Telnet between the nodes n2-n5.

3. Design networks that demonstrate the working of Distance vector routing protocol. The link
between node 1 and 4 breaks at 1.0 ms and comes up at 3.0ms. Assume that the source node 0
transmits packets to node 4. Plot the congestion window when TCP sends packets via other nodes.
Assume your own parameters for bandwidth and delay.

4. Consider a client and a server. The server is running a FTP application over TCP. The client sends a
request to download a file of size 10 MB from the server. Write a TCL script to simulate this
scenario. Let node n0 be the server and node n1 be the client. TCP packet size is 1500 Bytes.
5. Demonstrate the working of multicast routing protocol. Assume your own parameters for
bandwidth and delay.
6. Set up a 2-node wireless network. Analyze TCP performance for this scenario with DSDV as
routing protocol.
7. Set up 3-node wireless network with node N1 between N0 and N2. As the nodes N0 and N2 moves
towards each other they exchange packets. As they move out of each other‘s range they drop some
packets. Analyze TCP performance for this scenario with AODV routing protocol.
8. Set up a 6-node wireless network; analyze TCP performance when nodes are static and mobile.
9. Write a TCL script to simulate the following scenario. Consider six nodes, (as shown in the figure
below) moving within a flat topology of 700m x 700m. The initial positions of nodes are: n0 (150,
300), n1 (300, 500), n2(500, 500), n3 (300, 100), n4(500, 100) and n5(650, 300) respectively. A TCP
connection is initiated between n0 (source) and n5 (destination) through n3 and n4 i.e., the route is 0-
3-4-5. At time t = 3 seconds, the FTP application runs over it. After time t = 4 seconds, n3 (300,100)
moves towards n1 (300, 500) with a speed of 5.0m/sec and after some time the path breaks. The data
is then transmitted with a new path via n1 and n2 i.e., the new route is 0-1-2-5. The simulation lasts
for 60 secs. In the above said case both the routes have equal cost. Use DSR as the routing protocol
andthe IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol.
10. Set up a wireless network with mobile nodes, induce 1 to 10% error to the network using uniform
error model. Plot the congestion window for TCP connections. Write your observation on TCP
performance as error increases in the network.
