Network tracer programme
A Network of routers have been configured for the purposes of handling data traffic within your company. You would like to have an application that does a network trace on the length of time it takes to traverse routers between workstation nodes using an open shortest path first (OSPF) algorithm as a variation (i) A* functionality (ii) best first search (iii) greedy search. Your application should simulate a total of up to 14 network nodes with the routing features between these nodes. The network tracer application program is to be updated with all the legitimate travel paths to move between node locations. This travel path data is stored in a mathematical analysis application called a djistrika matrix which can be represented programmatically as set of multidimensional arrays or files/link list structures. Whenever a path becomes inaccessible for a chosen network destination path , the graph path and nodes are colored in red( i.e. graph coloring technique). Paths with the higher f(n) values are ranked and colored orange , to signal to the network tracer of impending delays on a given path.
The nodes on a tracer path are used to recognize distinct network nodes . Start and end nodes are uniquely colored on the graph paths. Each router in your network node has it’s own computable heuristic or Time Series value as in the case of say cisco router. Provide a clear analytical discussion on the requirement considerations will be needed to simulate the network tracer scenario within your company.
The automated network tracer should also have the extended programming simulated functionalities of using a menu selection of a (i) Depth First Search Traversal (ii) And a Breadth First Search Traversal , to select travel paths between a start and end …
