This project requires you to implement a simulator (interactive animator) along with an interface to illustrates one of the most fundamental concepts in computer networking: queuing delay (w/ possible packet loss).

You need to set

– a dropdown menu for the packet arrival (emission) rates – a dropdown menu for the link transmission rates

– the simulator shows the packet being arrived at the input buffer and forwarded to the output buffer through the queue.

– the Start button to initiate simulation

– the Reset button to restart simulation with new setting

The following figure shows a GUI which is an initial state.

Your simulator should be able to count the elapsed time as well as number of packets arrived, and number of packets dropped due to full of the queue as shown above.

You need to set a dropdown menu for the packet arrival rate such as 100 packet/s, 300 packets/s, and 500 packets/s.

You also need to set a dropdown menu for the link transmission rate such as 300 packets/s, 500 packets/s, and 800 packets/s.

Thus, we can combine the packet arrival rate and link transmission rate together to show queuing delay and possible packet loss, for example arrival rate of 500 packets/s and link transmission rate of 300 packets/s to show possible packet loss.

The small colored rectangles one the links on both sides show moving packet and large pink rectangle shows a packet on the output buffer. Packet must be appeared on the queue before placing on the output buffer (each packet must be displayed with different color, wrap around possible)

As it is mentioned earlier, your simulator must display the elapsed time and the number of the arrived packets as well as the number of the dropped packet due to full of the queue as shown above in purple colored part.

Examples of some screenshot:

1. packet arrival rate < link transmission rate

2. packet arrival rate > link transmission rate (packet may be started to be queued)

3. packet arrival rate > link transmission rate (packet may be started to be dropped): black colored rectangle is a dropped packet due to lack of space in the queue (that is, queue is full)

Requirements:

– The simulator must be implemented using JAVA.

– You MUST upload ONE WinZip file containing the following THREE items (items 1 ~ 3) to claim full credit;

1. Your program in a PACKAGE – If it is not in a package, it won’t be graded. 2. Executable file which can run even WITHOUT Java runtime environment (No

JVM).

3. 10 or more screenshots like the above to justify that your implementation is working as intended in a MS WORD along with a brief explanation.

4. Your implementation MUST be tested on the eclipse because it will be graded on it.

5. Do not submit ‘tar’ file 6. Interface design – 20%

Documentation related to the item #3 above – 10% Executable program – 70%
