摘要：MAC is defined to proper access to the channel and that is also responsible for throughput and fairness in the network. IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol has been the standard for Wireless LANs, and also adopted in many network simulation packages for wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks. While IEEE 802.3 MAC Protocol had been standardized for Wired LAN, NS2 is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. NS2 provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast protocols over wired and wireless (local and satellite) networks. In this paper we aimed at assessment and evaluation of the various protocols based on legacy MAC & wireless MAC aiming at University Campus Area. We conducted some simulation for the same using ns2 and concluded an adaptive performance model best suited for University Campus Area for networking in terms of throughput and fairness.
