Validation and Adaptation of Router and Switch Models
conference paper
This paper describes validating OPNET models of key devices for the next generation IP-based tactical network of the
Royal Netherlands Army (RNLA). The task of TNO-FEL is to provide insight in scalability and performance of future
deployed networks. Because validated models ol key Cisco equipment were lacking and information on values for
attributes could not be obtained from the vendor or OPNET, TNO-FEL embarked on validating models of key routers and
switches. Besides providing actual values for basic model attributes, measurements revealed that default router models with
tuned attributes did not perform as the actual equipment. Improvements were designed and implemented.
