1. Course Project for CS05112

2. Objective Simulate the FatTree network using ndnSIM. Simulate a multicast session with l oadbalancing Add more producers to improve the performance

3. FatTree All the links are p2p links: 1Mbps, 10ms All switches have 20-packet queue size

4. A Multicast session One producer in Pod 0 All the other hosts are consumers Apply the load-balancing forwarding strategy Increase the requesting rate until find the bottleneck. Demonstrate with packet drop metrics and graph Consider to change one consumer to a producer Increase the requesting rate until find the bottleneck Demonstrate with packet drop metrics and graph

5. Submit your project Source code Topology configuration file Ns3 source code files Metric log files Project report document Explain how you simulate the multicast Identify the network bottleneck, show your evidences. Show how the performance is improved? Where is the new bottleneck? show your evidences. You can plot the performances with MATLAB.
