This thesis delves into the exploration of high-speed communications and switching technologies. The research methodology involved the creation of five distinct network topologies using Mininet and Python, with a focus on assessing their performance. To simulate real-world conditions, traffic between end-user nodes was generated, and packet data was meticulously captured through Wireshark. Employing Excel, the Inter-Arrival Time (IAT) of packets across each topology was systematically analyzed. The study further expanded its scope by incrementally increasing the network size within each topology, facilitating a comprehensive comparative analysis to discern patterns and trends in performance variations.
