Abstract
Simulations have become a very effective approach for visualizing how data transfer takes place in a network. But simulating network traffic in iCanCloud is a challenging process for students trying to learn how protocols work. This project proposes an environment combining an implementation of TCP/IP using INET and iCanCloud on top of OMNeT++ to simulate network traffic. Documenting the design of all the created simulations provide rationale as to how network traffic is generated. Furthermore, this project shows how promising the proposed environment is for analyzing network traffic. Evaluating and analyzing the created simulations provides potential ideas for extending the proposed environment as a platform for learning in the future.
