Undergraduate data communications and networking projects using opnet and wireshark software

Student Network Design Projects using OPNET

To provide students with a practical knowledge of networking, the K.U.Leuven organizes design projects, complementary to the theoretical courses. Master students in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications option) design a network for a specific service in a specific environment. During the academic year 2000-2001, students worked on one of the following topics: voice traffic on leased lines,...

OPNET in Advanced Networking Education

1 Research Assistant of the Fund of Scientific Research Flanders (FWO-Vlaanderen) Abstract In this paper we discuss how OPNET can be applied in advanced networking education, enhancing the practical skills of future network engineers. At the K.U.Leuven Master students in Electrical Engineering focusing on Telecommunications have to complete a complex networking design about Voice over IP, Wirel...

Vehicular Inter-Networking via Named Data - An OPNET Simulation Study

Named Data Networking (NDN) is proposed for effective content distribution when a large number of end-users demand for popular content at the same time. In this paper, NDN is implemented in Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET) to meet its particular requirements, such that all of vehicles refer to the real time traffic status for safe driving. We propose Vehicular Named Data Networking according to...

Cloud networking and communications

Cloud computing is having an important impact on communication networks, both fixed and mobile, stimulating intensive research and standardization of new network architectures, protocols and resource management mechanisms. In the literature, significant attention has been devoted to system aspects of Cloud computing. More recently, however, the focus is shifting towards Cloud networking and com...
