Test Bed for Network Protocols Optimization

This paper describes the test platform for verifying the functionality of network protocols and for optimization of their parameters. The test bed is made using combined OPNET simulator and MATLAB development environment. This test platform connects OPNET network protocols simulator with MATLAB development environment in the way that OPNET runs simulations of network traffic, with the predetermined parameter values, while MATLAB executes the script with a mathematical algorithm, which optimizes parameters listed in OPNET simulator.
