Background (1/2)
Why simulations are needed
Plan a new networking topology
Estimate the efficiency of networks
Evaluate new protocols or devices
Advantages
Lower cost
Easy to build
Avoid environmental interference
3
Background (2/2)
Goal of this experiment
Learn to use the tool of NCTUNS
Realize the mechanisms of
Transmission protocols
Network devices
Methodlogy of designing an experiment
4
Transmission Protocols (1/2)
 ALOHA
 Transmit data only
 Two types
 Pure-Aloha
 Slotted-Aloha
 No sensing for collision and congestion
 Channel throughput: 18% (Stallings, 2000)
 CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)
 Sense the media and transmit data if it’s idle
 Two implementations:
 Persistent CSMA
 Non-persistent CSMA
 Throughput is much better: over 40%
5
Transmission Protocols (2/2)
CSMA/CD
CSMA with Collision Detection
Wait a random time if collision and then transmit
Used in wired networks (ex: IEEE 802.3)
CSMA/CA
CSMA with Collision Avoidance
RTS/CTS mechanism for hidden terminals problems
Used in wireless networks (ex: IEEE 802.11)
6
Network Devices
 Hub
 Broadcast all packets to every port
 Switch
 Build a table for mapping between MAC addresses and ports
 Broadcast packets at first time to verify the target port
 Send packets to the target port instead of broadcasting
 Access Point (AP)
 A bridge for wired and wireless networks
 Use RTS/CTS mechanism on wireless network
 Always broadcast because of the media
7

Experiment
 Goals :
 Find the relationship between the offered load and throughput
 Experiment methods
 Use different offered loads to run simulations and compare the results
 Offered load:
 Capacity of the line divided by the amount of input data
offered _ load 
input (kbps)
capacity(kbps)
 Throughput :
 The maximum of data rate the network can transmit
throughput 
output(kbps)
capacity(kbps)
