Packet Tracer - Packet Switching Simulation

Scenario
Packet Tracer is a fun, take-home, flexible software program that allows you to experiment with network
behavior, build network models, and ask "what if" questions. In this activity, you will explore an example of
how Packet Tracer can serve as a modeling tool for representing an Internet connection to Facebook.
Note: This document is a supplement, but not a replacement, for the video demonstration. The video
demonstration is the primary source for how to navigate this activity.

Tasks
• Open the Packet Tracer – Packet Switching Simulation A.pka file.
• Click SmartPhone, then Desktop tab, then Web Browser. Enter the URL www.facebook.com and click
Go. The web page should appear. If not, click Fast Forward Time several times to force the network to
quickly converge. Then try accessing www.facebook.com again.
• Click each of the cloud icons to view the more complex networking paths inside.
- Click the Internet Exchange to look inside. Then click Back.
- Click the Internet Core to look inside. Then click Back.
- Click the Facebook Data Center to look inside. Then, click Back.
• Close the Packet Tracer – Packet Switching Simulation A.pka file and open the Packet Tracer –
Packet Switching Simulation B.pka file.
- Click Fast Forward Time until you see the Time increment to at least 5 minutes.
- Maximize your window. If necessary, Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to view all the devices
in the network.
• Click Simulation and change the Simulation Panel settings:
- Click Edit Filters, and then click Show All to turn off all protocols. Select ICMP and HTTP.
- Adjust the speed of the Play Controls.
- Close the Simulation Panel but remain in Simulation mode.
• Send a ping to www.facebook.com
- Click SmartPhone, then Desktop tab, then Command prompt.
- Enter the command ping www.facebook.com.
- Minimize the SmartPhone window.
- Click Auto Capture/Play to watch the ping packets travel from the SmartPhone to the Facebook
servers. When the ping “echo reply” returns from the Facebook servers, notice how the packets take
a different path.
• Investigate the Packet Switching Simulation B.pka file on your own.
