Simulation and Performance Comparison of Different Expansions of Star Network Using Opnet

Abstract

In this paper our main emphasis is to understand the concept how a particular network is designed and how data in form of packets can be transferred from one place to another. Here we have explained different topologies for a particular network and special emphasis is on star topology and also designing of their modified forms such as double star and tri star network using Opnet (optical network simulator).
