Abstract

Generally, this bachelor project will research in network traffic and bandwidth prioritization, by using the QOS solution to setup a simulation QOS-enabled network. Within the past few years, there has been a rapid growth of network (LAN and WAN) traffic, due to the new applications, particularly multimedia applications, have placed increasing demands on networks. In the IP network, everything is best-effort delivery and all the applications have the equal value. Therefore, when the network is crowded with the less critical traffic (e.g., non-critical Web browsing, large FTP file transfers, and P2P uploading I downloading of digital music files), the mission-critical application can not get their way to complete the transaction. In this instance, network quality of service (QOS) is significant to provide guaranteed bandwidth and prioritized traffic to the critical application. E-Business, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and streaming applications like video conferencing and VoiP require performance guarantees to ensure that they do not suffer from bandwidth contention from less critical applications and Internet traffic. The bachelor project was developed under the Framework for the Application of System Techniques (FAST) methodology, which consists of seven phases (concept evaluation phase, problem analysis phase, requirement analysis phase, decision analysis phase, design phase, construction phase and implementation phase). All the activities that are defined in the pervious phase need to be completed first before proceeding to the next phase. The simulation QOS-enabled network was setup by interoperating the Windows-based and Cisco-based QOS technology. Both of the LAN traffic and WAN traffic can be prioritized in the simulation QOS-enabled network. As a conclusion, the bachelor project has given many revelations in the QOS concept and technology. It has placed a great chance for me to equip myself with new skills and additional knowledge in QOS technology.
