Abstract

A heterogeneous network offers multiple devices to connect with different network architectures, protocols, and operating systems. These networks can serve a small firm or organization efficiently. A heavy network set-up can be a significant financial burden for small organizations. This paper suggests a heterogeneous network model that can serve a small organization. The model is designed and simulated in OMNET++ 4.6. End-to-end delay and the packet error rate are used to estimate the performance evaluation of the proposed model. A simulation study reveals that the model can serve better when the number of users is 50 to 75. Since the minimum end-to-end delay is observed as 4.854*10^-3 s and the packet error rate is 0.126*10^-4 s for several 50 users.
