Ex.No: Study of TCP/UDP performance using Simulation tool.
Aim:
To study the performance of TCP/UDP using NS2
Algorithm:
Step 1: Create a network simulator object ns to invoke simulation
Step 2: Using an object open a file in write mode
Step 3: Using the foresaid object write all the trace output into the file
Step 4: Using an object create a file to write all nam window output into it
Step 5: Set color to represent each flow
Step 6: Create 4 nodes
Step 7: Connect node 0 and node 2 with droptail Queue of 2 Mbps
Step 8: Connect node 1 and node 2 with droptail Queue of 2 Mbps
Step 9: Connect node 2 and node 3 with droptail Queue of 4 Mbps
Step 10: Create a TCP agent and attach to node 0 and TCP sink to node 3
Step 11: Create a UDP agent and attach to node 1 and null agent to node 3
Step 12: Set fid 1 for tcp and fid 2 udp
Step 13: Invoke ftp agent to generate traffic of 1 mbps and attach to UDP agent
Step 14: Invoke CBR agent to generate traffic of 1 mbps and attach to TCP agent
Step 15: Invoke the data transmission process for TCP and UDP at 0.1 second
Step 16: Run the simulation
Step 17: Vary the bandwidth of the link and check the how TCP and UDP behaves in NAM
