Abstract: Network parameters are vital ingredients of todays data communication scenario especially Media access delay, download/upload response time and traffic sent/received. This Paper has taken into consideration the modeling and implementation of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and wired Ethernet network (LAN) based on OPNET simulator 17.5 and evaluated the performance of the WLAN and LAN in a campus/university and office environment. Our model has been tested for one type of protocol (heavy file transfer protocol FTP) in two different sites each comprising of 28 users and found that among a set of other parameters Media Access Delay and traffic received/sent and upload/download response time by application server were highly affected by the number of users per application with LAN and WLAN technologies. Simulation performed shows the behavior of the Data transfer on wire-line and wireless network for both application scenarios.
Keywords: WLAN, LAN, upload/download response time, traffic sent/received by server, OPNET
