Abstract
Over the past decade, Wi-Fi networks have become commonplace in a typical home. Multiple users may be simultaneously streaming, torrenting, browsing the web, gaming, and using VoIP. This may be quite demanding on the network and may result in a loss of Quality of Service. For our project, we plan to model a multiple-user home wireless network using OPNET. We wish to observe and analyze the effect of various user's bandwidth demands on the latency, packet jitter, packet loss, and throughput on other users within the network. Furthermore, we plan to compare the effect of various wireless standards and environments in order to determine the standard that provides the best QoS.
