OPNET Modeler Documentation 17.5

OPNET Modeler Documentation is the comprehensive reference set for OPNET Modeler (later known as Riverbed Modeler), a discrete-event simulation environment for designing, analyzing, and optimizing communication networks. The documentation guides users through the full modeling workflow—from building hierarchical network topologies and configuring protocol stacks to running experiments and interpreting results—so engineers, researchers, and students can evaluate performance, capacity, and protocol behavior with confidence.

Key topics typically covered include:

• Getting started, project organization, and simulation workflow
• Scenario creation with nodes, links, and protocol/process models
• Traffic and application modeling, statistics collection, and result visualization
• Best practices for experiment design, calibration, and reproducibility
• Extending models using process logic (e.g., state machines and custom code)
• Wireless and wired model libraries, including routing and transport protocols
• Troubleshooting, validation techniques, and performance tuning

With step-by-step tutorials, conceptual explanations, and detailed references, the documentation helps users move from basic simulations to advanced, customized studies of complex network behaviors.
