OPNET IT GURU for Networking Education Nigeria Universities

Abstract

In this paper, we present our approach on how OPNET can be easily integrated into the curricula of networking to reinforce networking theory taught in our universities. Wedescribed our. teaching objectives and discussed why we choose it over other major simulation ·softwarepackets. We then proposed an OPNET simulation networking laboratory that complements classroom lectures by presenting the representative projects of the OPNET simulation labs that emphasize the understanding the dynamics of network design and contain some extension or development of'the topic beyond the lecture/reading.
