Network Simulation configuration

We will simulate the network decribed in the previous post using OPNET. After adding all network devices, we should start configuring the nodes s follows:

Router configuration 

For every proposed scenario, each router will run only one routing protocol (e.g. RIP, IGRP…etc.) with the exception of protocol-combination scenarios, where routers will run two protocols simultaneously.

Application Configuration
Five applications will be configured to support FTP, Email, Web Services, Voice over IP (VoIP) and Video Conferencing. The services demand by workstation for FTP and Email is set to Medium Load while Web service is configured to be used as heavy browsing. FTP object size is set to 5 KB whereas it is 1 KB for Email. The HTTP page is configured to be 1 KB in size in additional to five medium size images per page. The image size is variable between 500 byte and 2KB. Voice quality is configured to meet Pulse Code Modulation (PCM Speech Quality) while Video application is set to Video Cassette Recording (VCR) with frame size of 352X240 pixels and 30 frames/sec qualities. All services are set to start at 100 seconds to evaluate them after network settlement.
