Lan Protocols Project Examples Using Omnet++

LAN (Local Area Network) protocols using OMNeT++ projects that we worked on upcoming area are classified below. If you want to explore more project ideas and carry on Performance Analysis in a LAN then we are ready to guide you.:

1. Ethernet Performance Analysis in a LAN:
   • We execute and mimic a standard Ethernet protocol in a LAN environment using OMNeT++. To assess these performance such as throughput, latency, and collision rate under various network loads and topologies. Compute how Ethernet executes with changing packet sizes and numbers of connected devices.
2. VLAN (Virtual LAN) Implementation and Analysis:
   • Mimic VLANs in a LAN environment using OMNeT++. We can execute the VLAN tagging and trunking to segment network traffic. To evaluate the benefits of VLANs such as improved security, reduced broadcast domains, and enhanced traffic management. Then we can compare the performance with a non-segmented LAN.
3. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in LAN Networks:
   • Execute and mimic the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to avoid loops in a LAN with redundant paths. We investigate how spanning tree protocol is dynamically handles the network topology to maintain loop-free paths, and estimate its effect on network convergence time, reliability, and performance.
4. Quality of Service (QoS) in LANs using 802.1p:
   • To execute the QoS using the IEEE 802.1p standard in a LAN environment. Mimic the scenarios with mixed traffic types, like real-time video, voice, and data, and to calculate how successfully the protocol prioritizes traffic based on its class of service. Then we can examine the effect on latency and packet loss.
5. Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) in High-Bandwidth LANs:
   • Mimic the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) in a high-bandwidth LAN scenario. To execute the link aggregation to merge various network connections into a unique logical link, enlarging the bandwidth and redundancy. Consider the effect on network throughput, load balancing, and fault tolerance.
6. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) in a LAN Environment:
   • To execute the DHCP in a LAN to automatically allocate IP addresses to devices. Mimic the protocol’s operation under various scenarios, like changing lease times, network sizes, and device churn rates. Now, we can evaluate the effectiveness of address allocation, lease renewal, and overall network performance.
7. LAN Security with 802.1X Authentication:
   • Here, we execute the IEEE 802.1X protocol to secure access to a LAN network. To emulate the protocol’s authentication procedure using a RADIUS server and we can compute its efficiency in avoiding unauthorized access. We estimate the impact on network performance, specifically during the authentication phase.
8. LAN Traffic Management with IGMP Snooping:
   • Mimic IGMP Snooping in a LAN environment to handle the multicast traffic efficiently. We can examine how IGMP Snooping decreases the unwanted multicast traffic and develops overall network performance by directing multicast data only to interested devices.
9. Performance Comparison of LAN Protocols (Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI):
   • Here, we execute and compare various LAN protocols, like Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI, in OMNeT++. We consider their performance such as throughput, latency, and collision managing under differing the network loads and topologies. To estimate the appropriateness of each protocol for various LAN environments.
10. LAN with Redundant Links Using Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP):
    • We execute and mimic the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) in a LAN with redundant links. Then we investigate the protocol’s ability to rapidly converge and maintain network connectivity during link failures and compare the RSTP’s performance with the standard STP such as recovery time and network stability.

Overall, we had effectively described several instance projects regarding LAN protocols which are implemented and simulated in OMNeT++. We will be provided entire examples if required.
