2. —————————— CACI Products Company - http://www.caciasl.com ——————————————————— COMNET III —————————————— 1-2 What Is COMNET III ? Simulation tool for modeling local area and wide area networks Designed to model a wide variety of networks –LAN-WAN performance –Circuit, message, and packet switching –Virtual circuit and datagram operation for packet networks –IEEE 802 protocols for local area networks Requires no programming Network description entered by: –Building the model with an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) –Importing data from network management systems and traffic analyzers –Importing from an ASCII file

3. —————————— CACI Products Company - http://www.caciasl.com ——————————————————— COMNET III —————————————— 1-3 What Is COMNET III ? (continued) Simulation follows automatically after network description passes verify check Vital statistics automatically collected during simulation in over 130 reports which can be turned on or off as needed (before simulation starts) Reports show, message & packet delays, queuing statistics, node & link utilization, input & output buffer statistics, blocking probabilities and many others Optional animation of network operation as well as real-time & post-processed plots Uses object-oriented discrete event simulation technology based on the simulation language MODSIM III and is fully extendible

266. —————————— CACI Products Company - http://www.caciasl.com ——————————————————— COMNET III —————————————— 1-266 Exercise 1 - Local Area Network (continued) E-Mail Application Type: Approximately every 15 minutes with an exponential distribution, the workstations transmit 1024 byte E-Mail messages to random neighbors (see class notes). E-Mail Response: The workstation receiving the E-Mail responds with a random size message geometrically distributed with a minimum of 100 bytes and an average size of 2048 bytes (see class notes). Caution: Make sure that the E-Mail Response Source uses a different message text than the E-Mail messages that activate them (I.e. don’t use original message).

267. —————————— CACI Products Company - http://www.caciasl.com ——————————————————— COMNET III —————————————— 1-267 Exercise 1 - Local Area Network (continued) Client Session Type: In addition, the workstations set up a client session with a server approximately every 10 minutes with an exponential distribution, during which they transmit a 1000 byte request message to the server. Server Response to Client Session: The server responds after an average delay of 2.5 seconds. The received message delay is beta distributed with a minimum of 1 second and a maximum of 4 seconds and both shape parameters equal to 5 (looks like a normal distribution without infinite tails). The response message size is Poisson distributed with an average size of 10000 bytes (Hint: Use Poi(10000)).
