Abstract

Computer simulation is becoming increasingly popular among computer network researchers for performance modeling and evaluation of computer and telecommunication networks. This popularity is due to the availability of various sophisticated and powerful simulators, and also because of the flexibility in model construction and validation offered by simulation. While various network simulators (both open source and commercial) exist for modeling and performance evaluation of communication networks, OPNET is becoming popular network simulator as the package is available to academic institutions at no cost, especially OPNET IT Guru. This chapter aims to provide a tutorial on OPNET focusing on the simulation and performance modeling of IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs). Results obtained show that OPNET provides credible simulation results close to a real system.
