Research Field: Step 2: Evaluate the Network

In this step network administrators evaluate the current network (find bottlenecks, test failures, etc). A diagram of the network layout together with current traffic profiles should be used to build a simulation model of the network. Scenarios of possible future usage patterns and network failures should then be tested on this model, to determine how the network will perform under possible traffic loads.

NDSG usually build a simulation of the network at this step. OPNET Modeler used, XDI to build the components.
