Network Simulation Project: OPNET Network Simulator Implementation

This project report focuses on network simulation, specifically utilizing the OPNET network simulator. It begins with an introduction to network simulators, highlighting their role in testing and research, and comparing their behavior. The report then delves into OPNET, detailing its capabilities in application solutions, network performance analysis, and simulation with versatility. It emphasizes OPNET's compatibility with the OSI 7-layer model and its ability to simulate various network components. The project also covers discrete event simulation, contrasting it with time-clocked simulation, and explores OPNET's hybrid simulation features and its use of editors like Link Editor, Node Editor, and Project Editor. The report discusses how these editors are used for network design, modeling, and managing network scenarios. Finally, the project concludes with a brief overview of the discussed topics and provides a reference.
