Abstract

Telecommunications and data networking fields are being changed by the use of wireless networks proving flexibility and mobility of clients as well as servers. This also provides the ability of extension of applications in many diverse areas. In this work, we are evaluating performance of 802.11 WLAN scenarios in Opnet Modeler 14.5. Throughput of the WLAN is evaluated in the presence of high priority traffic as well as low priority traffic, generating data simultaneously. Results are shown in detail with the help of graphs.
