Performance Evaluation of Wireless Networks

In this paper, the analysis of different performance evaluation parameters of wireless network applications specifically file sharing approaches such as client server approach and peer to peer approach specially Bit-Torrent is carried out. This project gives insights of client server approach along with its disadvantages and need of peer to peer approach. Different performance evaluating parameter such as delay parameter, traffic sent or received etc. for both wired and wireless client server network are plotted in OPNET environment and also studies the effect of traffic on server. Different analytical modeling techniques such as Queueing network model and fluid flow model are studied to analyze the performance of Bit-Torrent network and then the effect of arrival of peers and departure of seeds on parameters like delay, downloading speed, transition rates etc. is evaluated using Matlab.
