“…Their results demonstrated that the suggested model produced a constructive efficacy on scheming and dealing with the targeted network. A research group at the Deptment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Wyoming performed high quality research in the Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, Net-Centric Warfare and Nano-satellite networks fields [9,10,11,12]. They developed new algorithms in localization, backbone formation, and radio propagation in the Mobile Ad-Hoc network and Net-Centric Warfare research areas.…”

<p class="0abstract">Fast growing in communication technology has influenced global changes and challenges appear in the field of network security issues. Security solutions must be efficient and operate in a way to deal with threats, reject and stop the network intruders and Trojans. The simulated network of Salahaddin university new campus is planned to build on an area of (3000X3000) meter square. The network consists of many main and secondary devices. The network is mainly consisted of one core switch that provides a very high data transfer through connecting all the collected positions by a variety of cable medias to the entire network switches which are installed in each college location. The department of academic administration (presidency) of the university design is similar to the network designed in each college. The mentioned switch obtains the services from a router that isolates the network from the cloud which supports the services of internet to the network. The firewall is connected to the switch that connects the main server and cloud together. This paper focuses on undertaking a simulation to analyze and examine the performance of the whole network when two scenarios are implemented, the first is if firewall devices is used, the second is when firewall is not used, since the project of building Salahaddin University new campus is at the initial stage, therefore, the researchers think that, it is very important to figure out the drawbacks and deadlocks of using firewall upon each branch of the network and overall network performance before the submitting the final networks design that going to be implemented and installed, because this will indicate many differences on the construction, for example, the network panels ways, the cable collecting locations, network channels and many other device fixing things depending on the media types in addition of the demand of future expansion capabilities. The results show that the using or adding of firewall device to the university campus computer network, will improve the overall network performance though increasing the data stream on many network sections and sectors, also better results are obtained.</p>

“…It was aimed exclusively for FC arbitrated loop (FC-AL) based SANs. Further on, [17] presented a discrete event simulator based on OPNET to model the synchronous write operations during I/O traffic and in [18] a FC based switched fabric SAN simulator is described. It is also based on OPNET with initial focus to simulate the FC-2 level of the FC protocol dealing with fabric login process on a single FC switch.…”

CERN -the European Organization for Nuclear Research today, in the era of big data, is one of the biggest data generators in the world. Especially interesting is transient data storage system in the ALICE experiment. With the goal to optimize its performance this paper discusses a dynamic, discrete event simulation model of disk based Storage Area Network (SAN) and its usage for the performance analyses. Storage system model is based on modular, bottom up approach and the differences between measured and simulated values vary between 1.5 % and 4 % depending on the simulated component. Once finished, simulation model was used for detailed performance analyses. Among other findings it showed that system performances can be seriously affected if the array stripe size is larger than the size of cache on individual disks in the array, which so far has been completely ignored in the literature.

The analysis, modeling and simulation of the avionics system is the flexible and effective method to evaluate and study avionics system with IMA architecture. With Queueing Theory, we summarize the stability condition, analyze and approximate the end-to-end delay in FC tandem network. In the OPNET, we simulate FC tandem network by building periphery node model, switch node model and the queue process model. Simulation result shows that, under the stability condition, the number of periphery nodes, or the rate of sending data packets has almost linear relationship to end-to-end delay, as the number of switches does nonlinear one.
