Roadmap
Working with 3
levels of protocols stack:
1. Application Layer:
Defining services with Different SLAs.
2. Transport Layer: TCP 2. Transport Layer: TCP
3. Network layer: Routing protocols, IP, ICMP,..

Roadmap (cont)
Opnet 14.5
Should be installed on Windows XP (Vmware probably!)

Previous term project
Sharif Campus Network Design
Not a unique solution
Several groups, several methodologies, different
designs
Lets take a look at it Lets take a look at it

Goal of a network
What services do we need?
What Quality of Service do each require?

Simulation Methodology
Traffic Matrix
# of Users
Users behavioral pattern
Define traffic flows - MRTG
11
Traffic Matrix - # of Users
# of Dormitory Students (in each dorm)
# of Staff (in each office)
# of professors (in each department)
# of PHDs students (in each department)
# of MSc students (in each department)
# of BSc students (in each department)

Traffic Matrix Defining Traffic Flows
MRTGs : Traffic from Departments or Offices to
Core Router and Core Switch
3 range of time
Upload & Download Traffic

Traffic Matrix OPNET
Define Flow from each Department and Office
Export a spreadsheet
Write into spreadsheet
Import to OPNET
14
Capacity Planning
Why is it needed?
network resource demand increasing over time
More users more demands
More applications provided more demands & BW
needed needed
15
Capacity Planning SLA Violation
Violation
End2End Delay
16
Capacity Planning OPNET Capacity Planning
Use OPNET to forecast traffic volume
Core Router Core 5w|tch
Core Router Internet
17
Failure Analysis
One important requirement of networks
Resiliency against failures
Check network in different failure scenarios
OPNET survivability analysis tool
Define network bottlenecks & critical links or routers Define network bottlenecks & critical links or routers
Use redundancy in order to decrease failure effect
18
Example
Effective link : Core Router Core Switch

Summary
SP Guru proactively predicts performance of your network to
help with
Capacity planning
Technology migration
Identifying network configuration errors
Traffic engineering Traffic engineering
Load balancing
Physical and logical topology design
Failure Analysis
The ability to conduct these studies quickly and accurately helps
Reduce capital and operational expenditures
Minimize the impact of outages

Methodology!
Planning your study can save valuable time
Have questions in mind before you open SP Guru
Build model to answer those questions
