MPLS
is the latest in the evolution of routing and forwarding
mechanisms for the Internet. Based on Internet standards
and developed in collaboration with industry experts,
the OPNET MPLS model offers the most comprehensive
and accurate performance predictions of networks
that incorporate MPLS technology and traffic engineering
policies. |

OPNET's
DOCSIS model suite has been developed jointly by
OPNET and the CableLabs' Bandwidth Modeling and
Management Vendor Forum. The model is based on the
DOCSIS 1.1 specification (as established by CableLabs),
and includes features relevant to both DOCSIS 1.1
and 1.0 systems. The model enables cable modem equipment
manufacturers to test different product configurations
and architectures before building expensive prototypes.
It also allows cable operators to create virtual
representations of proposed cable modem networks
as they evaluate the capacity and quality of service
(QoS) characteristics of alternative designs. |

PNNI
is an ATM routing protocol that distributes topology
information between switches, and is used to compute
paths through an ATM network. Combined with OPNET?s
core products, the PNNI specialized model offers
network engineers and planners the key ability to
demonstrate the performance and benefits of PNNI
implementations in any what-if network scenario.

Circuit
switching is a technique for establishing connections
in telephone networks. The Circuit Switch model
enables you to analyze the performance of these
networks in any "what-if" scenario. Typical uses
of the model include: Capacity planning for voice
traffic in a circuit-switched network evaluating
the impact of a connection failure at a link or
switch in an SS7 network, identifying sources of
blockage (such as PBXs or SSPs) that cause performance
degradation and loss of service, and studying the
effects of network topology changes and link and
node failures/recoveries. |

Server Specialized Models enable modeling of server
systems and components. OPNET's high-fidelity Server
models enable you to understand the impact of significant
changes in your processing environment such as new
applications, changes in business workloads, server
consolidation, application distribution, and server
tuning. By coupling the server modeling capability
with OPNET's comprehensive understanding of networking
technologies, you now can accurately predict the
user experience from an end-to-end perspective. |

The
IPv6 model provides the ability to model several

static routing, IPv6 tunnels, ICMPv6, and neighbor
discovery. These features enable studies of IPv6
migration plans using different transition and studies
of protocol enhancements. |
