This object could contain various LAN, node, and link models. LANs represent a local area network abstracted into a single node. Nodes represent servers, workstations, switches, gateways or any other physical devices associated with communication networks. Links represent the physical links between nodes. A subnetwork abstracts network components specified within it into a single object. Subnetworks: Represent identical constructs in an actual network. Have no behavioral aspects, but simplify representation of large networks. May be stationary or mobile. Subnets 3 Subnet Types Why Use Subnets? Subnets are a powerful mechanism for breaking down a system’s complexity through abstraction. Consider the two connected Ethernet networks in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the example below. Why Use Subnets? Subnets can be used to segment networks into distinct parts based on proximity, connectivity, or architecture. Why Use Subnets? Subnet coordinate systems allow placement of objects according to a geographic location while the positions of the nodes of the subnet are relative to an origin. Consider a network of 3 buildings in 3 different cities. Realistic placement of the subnets requires a coordinate system in degrees, but when modeling the actual location of the individual devices, it is prudent to change the subnet grid system to meters. Map Backgrounds Modeler includes several maps that can be loaded as backgrounds for network models. Map backgrounds provide a physical context for model specification. Models are more easily interpreted when set in a proper geographical context. Distance between nodes can be a factor in affecting
