    Network Tools and Protocols Exercise 2: Emulating A Wide Area Network (WAN)

    Uploaded by

    Fabio Meneses
    This document describes an exercise to emulate a wide area network (WAN). It provides instructions to: 1) Set up a network topology with a 100 Mbps bottleneck link between routers s1 and s2, and add 25ms of latency. 2) Run an iPerf3 test for 120 seconds to measure throughput without packet loss. 3) Add a 2% packet loss rate and rerun the iPerf3 test to observe the impact on throughput.

    Exercise 2: Emulating a Wide Area Network (WAN)

    1 Exercise description

    In this exercise, you emulate a WAN. This task requires setting the bottleneck link
    bandwidth and delay. Additionally, you will emulate packet losses and run a throughput
    test to verify the performance.

    h1 s1 s2 h2

    h1-eth0 s1-eth1 s1-eth2 s2-eth1 s2-eth2 h2-eth0


    100 Mbps
    50ms

    1.1 Credentials

    The information in Table 1 provides the credentials to access the Client’s virtual machine.

    Table 1. Credentials to access the Client’s virtual machine.

    Device Account Password

    Client admin password

    2 Setting the environment

    Follow the steps below to set the problem’s environment.

    Step 1. Open MiniEdit by doble-clicking the shortcut on the Desktop. If a password is


    required type password .

    Step 2. Load the topology located at /home/admin/NTP_Exercises/Exercise2/.


    Exercise 2: Emulating a Wide Area Network (WAN)

    Step 3. Run the emulation by clicking on the button located on the lower left-hand side.

    3 Deliverables

    Follow the steps below to complete the exercise.

    a) Set the bottleneck link to 100 Mbps and add a 25ms latency to the interfaces s1-
    eth2 and s2-eth1.

    b) Run an iPerf3 test for 120 seconds and explain the results. What is the
    throughput?

    c) Add a 2% packet loss rate to the interface s1-eth2 and repeat part b).
