Developing a Network Design for a Smart Airport Using Cisco Packet Tracer

Abstract

The fast-changing world is evolving towards automation rapidly every day, and a good network system is inevitable anywhere to properly manage an automated system. Before implementing a network system, it is necessary to visualize and learn a protocol to understand in depth about the network system and identify the issues among the system. Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks. It helps network developers to design prototype models as well as provides a virtual network simulation platform that help to simulate projects and observe its efficiency in the real world. In this research, the authors have developed a prototype of network design of an airport using Cisco Packet Tracer. The process that depicts how network system will work in real life is explained and the simulation of data transmission is provided.
