Performance Analysis of Wired, Wireless and Optical Network using NS2

Abstract

In computer terminology, the definition for networks is simply a group of computers physically or logically connected with each other for sharing information or services. In this paper, wired, wireless and optical networks have been analyzed and implemented using network simulator tool NS2. A systematic simulation based performance analysis of wired, wireless and optical networks using distance vector routing protocol has been carried out. Analysis of the performance of these networks on the basis of three metrics- Packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, throughput using NS2 based Simulation has been undertaken.
