LAN Environment

Server Model

The Server equipment model is designed to simulate a file server or database server in the LAN environment. It has all the features of a Workstation model and the additional capability of responding to incoming data packets. That is, the Server model can send data packets back to the source of an incoming data packet. The idea is to model requests for a file transfer or database query to a server along with the associated response.

Sample Server model controls are shown in Figure 4.10.

Figure 4.10: Sample Server Model Controls

The Traffic Generators section of the Server controls reflects the additional features of the Server model, and it is a bit different from the Workstation model. You can use the Response to Incoming and Independent Traffic check boxes to control the types of traffic originated by this model. The Response Size control lets you determine the size of the data packet (number of bytes) sent back to the source of an incoming data packet. Clicking the

button produces a new window with controls for additional traffic generators, analogous to Workstation model traffic generators.
